Hi, thanks for reporting this. Could I ask what character it was and if I can replicate it, I'll make a bug report. Also, did you manage to get it working eventually?

It's a white box. I think it's created by Acrobat after performing OCR. Even if I put it here it throws a UE on H5P.org

What webserver are you using, which version and which PHP version?

Don't understand the question: this happens on our hosted Moodle site and at h5p.org, using all Web browsers.

That is very strange. It seems you were unable to save the H5P so you can't link to it? Could you paste in the text that caused this error here?

When text is rendered by a computer, sometimes characters are displayed as “tofu”. They are little boxes to indicate your device doesn’t have a font to display the text.

@falcon It's not that uncommon that unsupported symbols makes a submit fail. The strings need to be cleaned before submitted. Or cleaned serverside for unsupported symbols.

Hi Rudler, I think that the quickest solution would be to 'clean' the text you are copying by pasting it into a program like Notepad or TextEdit before then pasting it into the editor.

I have the latest update for Wordpress (1.15.4) and unfortunately, I did not see the « resume » feature :(

May be, this feature have not been released for the Wordpress side ?

Hi zenplay!

I am not sure why you dug up a post that has nothing to do with your question at all, but the answer is: That feature can be activated by checking the "save content state" option in the plugin settings (and that has been possible for years now :-)).

Best,
Oliver

Thank you for the reply.

But it seems not working for Interactive Book (Wordpress extension) :(

Have you made sure to update Interactive Book to the latest version including upgrading existing content on the library settings page?
