Templates do not save when an element has an emoji in it. The save function appears to work but when reloading the editor or previewing the template the template or any changes are not visible.

One of my elements had an emoji and the template didn’t save until I removed it.

Hi Alex,
Thanks so much for your report!

Can you please have a look at WordPress » Tools » Site Health » Info » Database and check the Database charset and collation? What’s set there?

Best regards,

here you go:
utf8mb4_unicode_520_ci

utf8mb4

Ok, then it should work. There are other collations where it doesn’t work.

Please send temporary login credentials (preferably to a staging copy) and a link to this thread to help@bricksbuilder.io using the email address you used during the purchase.
