User permalink problem with special characters

Hi Micocico,

I had a similar problem with accent characters becoming part of the Ultimate Member user permalink.

To fix, I had to add a custom filter to /plugins/ultimate-member/core/um-permalinks.php on line 443 inside the “name_dash” case in the switch statement. Unfortunately this gets overwritten with each plugin update but it does solve the problem.

$full_name_slug = apply_filters(“um_generate_permalink_filter”, $full_name_slug);

With that filter in place, I then added code to my functions.php file to remove each character for the URL.

function change_um_slug($value)
{
$replacements = array(
‘á’ => ‘a’,
‘á’ => ‘a’,
‘é’ => ‘e’,
‘é’ => ‘e’,
‘?’ => ‘c’,
‘?’ => ‘c’,
‘í’ => ‘i’,
‘í’ => ‘i’,
‘?’ => ‘n’,
‘?’ => ‘n’,
‘ó’ => ‘o’,
‘ó’ => ‘o’,
‘ú’ => ‘u’,
‘ü’ => ‘u’,
‘ü’ => ‘u’,
‘(‘ => ”,
‘)’ => ”,
‘”‘ => ”
);
foreach($replacements as $replacement => $replace)
{
$value = str_replace($replacement, $replace, $value);
}
return $value;
}
add_filter(‘um_generate_permalink_filter’, ‘change_um_slug’, 10, 2);

Hope this works for you and hopefully the Ultimate Member team will include a filter in this file in a future release.

Thanks for sharing. For me this don’t have affects to permalink. So I changed this, add some more specialchars for german, french and italian and paste everything into /plugins/ultimate-member/core/um-permalinks.php#442.

$replacements = array(
    'á' => 'a',
    'á' => 'a',
    'à' => 'a',
    'à' => 'a',
    '?' => 'a',
    'a' => 'a',
    '?' => 'ae',
    '?' => 'ae',
    '?' => 'ae',
    '?' => 'ae',
    'é' => 'e',
    'é' => 'e',
    'è' => 'e',
    'è' => 'e',
    'ê' => 'e',
    'ê' => 'e',
    '?' => 'e',
    '?' => 'e',
    '?' => 'c',
    '?' => 'c',
    'ì' => 'i',
    'ì' => 'i',
    'í' => 'i',
    'í' => 'i',
    '?' => 'i',
    '?' => 'i',
    '?' => 'i',
    '?' => 'i',
    '?' => 'n',
    '?' => 'n',
    'ò' => 'o',
    'ò' => 'o',
    'ó' => 'o',
    'ó' => 'o',
    '?' => 'o',
    '?' => 'o',
    '?' => 'oe',
    '?' => 'oe',
    '?' => 'oe',
    '?' => 'oe',
    '?' => 'ss',
    'ù' => 'u',
    'ù' => 'u',
    'ú' => 'u',
    'ú' => 'u',
    '?' => 'u',
    '?' => 'u',
    'ü' => 'ue',
    'ü' => 'ue',
    '?' => 'y',
    '?' => 'y',
    '(' => '',
    ')' => '',
    '”' => ''
);
foreach($replacements as $replacement => $replace)
	$full_name_slug = str_replace( $replacement , $replace, $full_name_slug );
