Percent Encoding

    Hi there,
    we recently had the problem, that broken links in page elements of our page builder weren’t found. I just looked into the db and saw, that the url is encoded in “percent encoding” (so https://example.com/aaa/bbb/ becomes https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Faaa%2Fbbb%2F).
    I would of course love it, if broken link checker would find those urls as well.

    If you need any more information or a dev-site-login, i would gladly help.

    Chris

    Hi @bundfegadmin I’m really sorry to hear that you’re having those issues.

    Could you please let us know which visual builder are you using so we can run some tests on our end?

    Looking forward to your reply.

    Hi Jorge,

    it is wpbakery page builder 6.0.5 which comes integrated into our theme. If you need the plugin-zip for testing, please let me know.

    Hi Chris,

    I was able to get a copy of WP Bakery Page Builder but can you tell me which elements exactly are you using and in which DB tables are you seeing those links?

    P.S. WordPress community is full of wonderful people but be careful when offering to provide your login details, there’s always someone that would take advantage of that, and it’s actually against the forum rules on wp.org to ask for and share those details ??

    Cheers,

    Hi Predrag,

    we are using wpbakery in a theme, that was built for us, so perhaps the elements have other names than usual.

    Here an example of a “button”
    [feg_button text=”Go on to” url=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2F|title:Here%20is%20a%20titel|target:%20_blank|” target_blank=”true” icon=”md-arrow-forward”]

    When I search the entire db for “https%3A%2F%2F” I find the links in wp_posts in the column post_content.

    PS. I didn’t know of the forum rule, and since I am working with webdeveloper (ok, mostly companies, where I paid for support) on a daily basis (where it is absolutely usual to give them access to your site or dev-site) I find it a bit hard to understand – but thanks for the heads up ?? )

    Cheers,
    Chris

    Hello @bundfegadmin

    Just to make it clear, are you using links like this?
    https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2F

    Or do you use the WP Bakery UI to add that button with a link like https://example.com and the output shortcode gets altered?

    Or is it altered directly in the database and shortcode looks good?

    Please advise!

    Thank you,
    Dimitris

    Hi,

    I use the wpbakery UI to add a button and there I use a link in https://…-form.
    When I look at the revisions the shortcodes are already in percent-encoding (the text-editor is disabled).

    Cheers,
    Chris

    Hello @bundfegadmin,

    I trust you’re doing well!

    I apologize for the delayed reply. I could replicate the set up on my end and detected the way links are added.

    I’ve forwarded this issue as an improvement to our developers.

    Have a good day and take care!

    Cheers,
