How can I go about stripping non-ASCII characters from permalinks?
-
I’m trying to create a plugin to not allow any weird characters into the permalink such as ?, ?, ?, ∞, &, etc…
I did a filter onto the ‘editable_slug’ and while this works for display purposes (the weird characters get filtered out), even though it might not show up in display, it is still being passed through when I update a post.
Anyone know how to actually make sure the data is passed AFTER I have cleaned it up? Or any idea on how I would go about doing this? Thank you!
Here is my plugin for reference:
if( !function_exists( 'strip_weird_permalink' ) ) { function strip_weird_permalink($post_id) { $output = $post_id; // strips all *non-ascii* characters $output = preg_replace('/[^(\x20-\x7F)]*/','', $output); return $output; } add_filter('editable_slug', 'strip_weird_permalink', 10, 1); }
