    Hello All,

    Anybody can help me on my problem? Need your kind feedback urgently …

    Support from my hosting put the blame squarely on the wordpress itself so I’m kinda clueless how to proceed …

    Thanx …

    It looks like it’s working in general. The problem is the apostrophe in your title which is converting to a URL-safe character. All you need to do is to edit the post’s “slug”. In your dashboard, go to the post, edit the slug (just below the title — if it’s not there, click Screen Options on the top right of the screen and check the “slug” box), and delete from your slug:

    %e2%80%99

    By doing so, your article’s new URL will be:

    Fixed!

    Do this for any post having this problem. In the future, when writing articles, WordPress will strip this be default when creating your URL slug.

    Thanx New Nine Media,

    Yes, I can manually delete the so-called slug but I’ve thousands of posts imported from blogger so it would not be a good idea to manually search for such slugs …

    Any other great ideas how to eliminate these slugs? Otherwise I’ve no choice but to spend days/weeks manually fixing this issue …

    Cheers …

    Also, by manually removing such slugs you’ve to make sure you don’t change the setting of your current permalink setting again …

    For example if currently I’m using:

    Month and name https://www.financetwitter.com/2010/08/sample-post/

    and later I decide to change to:

    Numeric https://www.financetwitter.com/archives/123

    the slugs will re-appear again so all your hard works (you’re lucky if you’ve only less than 50 posts to change) in removing the slugs will go to drains …

    Just my thought … still need a fast (maybe a plugin?) method to do this …

    Cheers …
