Before the migration there should be the those defines within the wp-config file so you could check to see what they are set to. I used one of the standards:

define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);
define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ‘utf8_unicode_ci’);

But you could use sftp and go to the wp-config.php file and these should be listed right below the database credentials near the top of the file.

6:08 pmSo if they are missing then you can add those defines.
