Encoded or extra character(s): “&” detected, in URL

  • ERRORS
    Encoded or extra character(s): “&” detected, in URL – which can cause data to be lost.

    I believe based on the pixel helper that one of the product categories has an & sign in the name. For whatever reason I am guessing its getting converting into & in a case where it shouldn’t be.

    The categories array in pixel helper is: content_category: ["Popular","Marketing","Email & Optins"]

    This generates this error notice for both the ViewContent & AdvancedEvents events.

    Further debugging reveals that it is still an & when put through wp_localize_vars, so the real solution is likely gonna have to be in the front side JS having to properly encode each param.

    I have changed our category as that is a quick fix for now. Just a heads up this is a possible issue.

    Hi,

    sorry for the issue and thank you for reporting this! ??

    I could replicate the issue and I made a fix for this and it will be available on next version of the plugin. If you want the fix without waiting for the new update, please download the plugin from the following URL and replace it in your website: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2myj1umj76to41i/pixel-caffeine.2.0.3.encode-error.zip?dl=1

    No problems when you will upgrade the plugin to new official release because the fix in this URL has already the final fix ??

    It solves to me, let me know if it solves for you as well.
    Thank you.

    @antoscarface – i will test it tomorrow. In the mean time can you see my other thread which is somewhat related possibly. Mainly the fact that the crib generated feeds still show the url as if the above change wasn’t made. Is there a difference in the data somehow between from and manual?

    Okay, let me know when you will be able to test it. For the other question, maybe I already replied you in the other topic, I’d keep that discussion there if you don’t mind ??

    Thank you.
