Learn more URL stripping special characters (%)

Hello,

?_mt=%2Fschedule%daily – after URL conversion. Could you send us the original link?

If you add the original link, EventON should transform slashes, symbols and so on correctly and not remove them.

Initial link (these point to specific days on the schedule):

https://oneyogahouse.com/brooklyn-schedule/?_mt=%2Fschedule%2Fdaily%2F48541%3FactiveDate%3D2023-09-24%26locations%3D48717

After updating an event (strips out % and some other characters – %2F, %3F, %3D): https://oneyogahouse.com/brooklyn-schedule/?_mt=scheduledaily48541activeDate2023-09-24locations48717

If you go to https://www.url-encode-decode.com/ and decode it, the original URL is https://oneyogahouse.com/brooklyn-schedule/?_mt=/schedule/daily/48541?activeDate=2023-09-24&locations=48717

Please try adding the original one.

Decoding worked – kind of not ideal since I won’t be adding these links and the people who are can barely log in to WP, but if that’s the fix, then that’s what they’ll have to do.

Where users get links from?

Originally the link should look like this

https://oneyogahouse.com/brooklyn-schedule/?_mt=/schedule/daily/48541?activeDate=2023-09-24&locations=48717

Then they copy it and paste it into the field.

Thanks for all the help! They get the link from the schedule itself. The main schedule view is fine, but if you click on a specific day and try to link to it, you get the links with the special %2 characters – there’s no other way to get a better link other than running it through decode (no sharing buttons, etc.) Not a huge deal to run the links through decode.

Perfect! I am going to close the ticket. If you have any further questions or concerns please create a new ticket.
