I keep getting this error on many of the plugins. I never got this before. Anyone know why?: I can't find any special characters and it really doesn't say what special characters it is.
Are you using Windows? Looks like you edited the yml with for example Windows 1252 encoding instead of UTF-8. That's why the yml contains an "invalid" character.
Edited the config localy on Win7 Swedish and moved it to Win Server 8 English. Seems there is a problem between them. Removing the * in the configs (and some other chars), saving the config then enter in the * and saving it again seems to have fixed most of it.
Yep, just make sure to edit and save it as UTF-8. That's why I guessed you used Windows somewhere here, because that's not (wasn't) default there.
Just throwing in my 2 cents as it were... I use NotePad++ for editting config files on my Windows 8 home computer, then FTP to Linux server. It even has a YAML "language" setting. And when I have big issues I run them through an online YAML parser. http://notepad-plus-plus.org/ http://yaml-online-parser.appspot.com/
