## Popis

LightMoving UTF8MB4 Converter helps modernize older WordPress databases that still
use latin1, utf8, or other non-utf8mb4 collations.

The plugin scans your WordPress database tables, identifies tables that are not 
using utf8mb4, and provides a safe administrator-controlled conversion workflow.

Features include:

 * Database charset and collation scan
 * WordPress table scan using the active table prefix
 * utf8mb4 server capability detection
 * Backup confirmation workflow
 * Required CONVERT confirmation step
 * Individual WordPress table conversion
 * Clean conversion success logging
 * Responsive modern admin interface
 * Direct Tools link from the Plugins page
 * No automatic conversion on activation

This utility is especially useful for:

 * older WordPress sites
 * migrated websites
 * legacy hosting environments
 * Themify and older builder installs
 * emoji and 4-byte character support warnings
 * multilingual WordPress environments

### Safety Features

 * No automatic conversion on plugin activation
 * Administrator-only access
 * Backup confirmation checkbox
 * Required CONVERT confirmation text
 * Converts only tables using the active WordPress table prefix
 * Displays current database charset and collation
 * Displays current table engine and collation
 * Converts database default charset/collation
 * Converts WordPress tables individually

### Important

Always create a complete database backup before converting database tables.

Large tables may require additional time depending on hosting resources. Conversion
operations may temporarily lock tables while MySQL or MariaDB processes ALTER TABLE
operations.
