WordPress utf8mb4 support requires MySQL client library (libmysql)

UTF8MB4 is the character set WordPress prefers for database storage because it safely supports the widest set of characters and encodings, including Emoji, enabling better support for non-English languages.

If you see this message, you should do the following steps to get your libmysql running:

1. Go to control panel and choose PHP Selector.

2. Change the PHP version to desired one and uncheck mysqli , pdo_mysql functions. After that check nd_mysqli nd_pdo_mysql functions. (nd - native driver) stays for the new driver.


PHP Selector - Control Panel

3. First you uncheck it, becuase it can not be checked both (work both).

You are done.
