Hello Zeosing,

Is it possible for you to provide us with the back end and FTP access to your site to check on this issue? You may store your site access at http://stackideas.com/dashboard/site so you don't have to provide these information all the time

Hello Zeosing,

I think you have removed the ftp access now. Can you please set both the back end and FTP?

Hello Zeosing,

Thanks! They both work perfectly now! Can you give this a try again? We were actually trying to perform a much more accurate truncation but it seems like it's causing issues with unicode characters.

I have applied the fix on your site by commenting out line 116 in /administrator/components/com_easyblog/includes/truncater/truncater.php and it's no longer getting those strange characters.

[gist]
$post->text = EB::string()->trimEmptySpace($post->text);
[/gist]

Ok, but now the question is, we have other sites with EB, so when this issue would be resolved? Becuse this file is a core file wich is updated every time EB is updated, so if today we update all sites, all sites would have same problem too.

Would be great if we can know when this issue is solved .

And of course thanks for the help

Hello Zeosing,

I have already logged this ticket internally and if you could remain your access here, we'll add a proper fix for this in 5.1.4. If everything is fine with 5.1.3, we'll most likely push 5.1.4 early next week

Thanks
