Hi Ernest,
Please read everything above first…
I just wanted to ask you about something I noticed a long time ago.
Database Character Set and Collation
Are you aware that your plugin is using a latin1_swedish character set and latin1_swedish_ci collation?
WordPress uses a utf8mb4 character set and utf8mb4_unicode_ci collation. I’ve noticed in my database a number of plugins that are not using this, and ASP is one of them.
I wanted to bring this to your attention just in case you didn’t know. To my knowledge it is best for databases to have a single character set and collation as opposed to a mix of them.
