Non-English urls no longer redirect

I’m not able to reproduce a problem when I use that source.

Do you know what character set your database is using?

https://www.urlencoder.org This website can translate non-English urls. I think the default setting (UTF-8) is the one we currently use.

Note: https://www.uscreditcardguide.com/%E9%95%BF%E6%9C%9F%E6%8C%81%E6%9C%89%E4%BF%A1%E7%94%A8%E5%8D%A1%E6%8E%A8%E8%8D%90/ is equivalent to https://www.uscreditcardguide.com/长期持有信用卡推荐/ in all modern browsers.

Sure, I understand about URL encoding, and your URL above works fine on my site. Maybe if you export your redirect as JSON and send it to me then I can take a closer look?

Sure! Can you give an email address? I think it’s better not to paste the JSON file in a public forum…

It’s available from the plugin support page or https://redirection.me/contact/

Sent, thanks!

I noticed that all recent redirections automatically used another character set somehow. An example:

{
“id”: 6568,
“url”: “/\u5e38\u89c1\u65e0\u5e74\u8d39\u4fe1\u7528\u5361\u5217\u8868/”,
“match_url”: “regex”,
“match_data”: {
“source”: {
“flag_query”: “exact”,
“flag_case”: false,
“flag_trailing”: false,
“flag_regex”: true
}
},
“action_code”: 301,
“action_type”: “url”,
“action_data”: {
“url”: “/list-of-no-annual-fee-credit-cards/”
},
“match_type”: “url”,
“title”: “”,
“hits”: 42,
“regex”: true,
“group_id”: 2,
“position”: 951,
“last_access”: “2019-06-19”,
“enabled”: true
}

Maybe this is the reason why it stopped working. I am not sure what caused this change…

Newly added redirections work fine now. But previous ones still don’t work properly. See the link in my original post for example.
