Comment (by gudrunfeldkamp):

 Hallo,

 The problem appeared 6 weeks ago, I've been trying to ge help since.I did
 the update in the hope that that would somehow fix the problem.

 The words 'ru.w.org is granting of elevated HelpHub'are  too technical to
 comprehend, what do you mean? Do i need to know?

 You write: 'DB connection charset.. or something in bbPress/WordPress
 around charsets..' - is that what is causing the problem? I don't know the
 meaning of those words but I need to fix this problem and would very much
 like to try whatever to ge my site back to working order.

 What can I do?

 > It looks like this issue happened on `2023-01-06`, some audit logs
 included below (@yube FYI; I don't think this is anything sensitive). The
 timestamps included are not the actual timestamps, just included for
 reference of timeline.

 WordPress.org forums, and the next two on ru.w.org is granting of elevated
 HelpHub permissions.. but you can see that there was corruption in the
 name back and forth a bit.. I suspect this might be a case where some code
 is still trying to set the DB connection charset.. or something in
 bbPress/WordPress around charsets..
