Twitter links are broken

    In AIOVG v1.6.4, the Twitter Social Button for videos are broken on our site.

    For example, on this video page the Twitter link is broken and results in:

    This page isn’t working
    If the problem continues, contact the site owner.
    HTTP ERROR 400

    This could be a Twitter problem, but I’m doubtful that a problem such as this would persist for days on their side. So I wonder if the AIOVG URL is of the correct form. Or perhaps there is some other problem here.

    For the record, Facebook links are working fine.

    Aah. This is an issue coming from plugin itself but occurs only when your title uses the pipe (|) character. Our next version will have this solved. As an immediate solution, kindly follow the steps below,

    1. Open /wp-content/plugins/all-in-one-video-gallery/includes/functions.php

    2. Locate the function named ‘the_aiovg_socialshare_buttons’

    3. Find the line,
    $title = str_replace( ' ', '%20', $title );

    4. Change it as,

    $title = str_replace( ' ', '%20', $title );
$title = str_replace( '|', '%7C', $title );

    5. Save the changes and try now.

    Hope, this solved your issue!
