% – special character?

  • A developer I’m working with has developed a bespoke product management plugin which has add/edit/delete products functionality.

    There is a textarea for “Description” and when you enter plain text and submit it functions fine. However when you use the % (percent) character it breaks the submission and no data is saved.

    Does WordPress handle the % character in a special way or is there any specific method needed to handle % when submitting?

  • The percent sign is a special character (wildcard) in MySql, the database used by WordPress. That might be the problem, although the editors seem to be able to put percent signs in my wp_posts table and we’ve had no problems.

    Same type of issue here but with ” quote mark
