LaurenWilson 0 Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Can anybody help me on this issue? It's very important to my site. Some (although not all) of my permalinks won't work. Some work perfectly and some are having variants of this "%20%E2%80%8E" added to the end of them, which obviously is giving me the 404 message. I've tried deactivating plug ins but had no difference and obviously as some work, it is unlikely to be that. I have also checked for hidden characters but cannot seem to find any. Can anybody think of a viable reason/solution for this error? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ingolme 1,035 Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Those only appear when you urlencode() characters that aren't meant to be in a URL, like spaces, international characters or symbols. I think some browsers automatically encode URLs that contain incorrect characters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LaurenWilson 0 Posted September 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 I just cannot for the life in me find where anything is in wrong. I have copied the URL's from the permalink on the edit page, then into notepad where there was nothing untoward and into the slide link URL. I have tried it on 3 browsers (Safari,Firefox and Chrome). What can you suggest? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ingolme 1,035 Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 What code is generating the permalink? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
justsomeguy 1,135 Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 That sequence corresponds to " „", which is a 3-byte UTF-8 character being shown as individual bytes. It sounds like the code might not be handling UTF-8 characters correctly. I think the character it is trying to display is „ which might have been pasted in from Word or something like that. You can either find the problem in the code and fix that, or replace those characters with regular ASCII characters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rajivdevkk 0 Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 (edited) If you submit bad permalinks. it would be not good for your site keyword ranking. it will be negative affect. Edited September 16, 2013 by Ingolme Advertising Quote Link to post Share on other sites
