    Error: Could not save menu settings.
    Last database error: "WordPress database error: Processing the value for the following field failed: option_value. The supplied value may be too long or contains invalid data."
    Warning: The wp_options database table uses the outdated utf8 character set. This can prevent you from saving settings that contain emojis, certain Chinese characters, and so on. It is recommended to convert the table to the utf8mb4 character set.

    I’ve converted the wp_options tabel to utf8mb4-general-ci but that doesn’t help.

    Oh, now the error message is gone and it works. May be it needed some time to realize the new table? 😉

    The utf8 character set is a known issue for some admin menus, that’s why there’s a special error message for that situation. I’m not sure why converting to utf8mb4 didn’t work right away, but hopefully, it will keep working.
