404 Entry not found with minus "-" in the headline
  • LTBLTB
    I create a entry with the minus symbol in the headline eg

    "Bla bla bla - Now with more typos!"

    Then, i click on the entry headline and I got the 404 Error. If I replace the - with an | it works fine... is this a known bug?
    I use pretty URLs and the newest FP version :)

    uhm. I've just tried on my personal blog (which is pretty vanilla) and it WorksForMe(tm)... Can anybody else confirm?

    I'm guessing here, are you using some script to change hyphens to em-dashes or something like that?
  • LTBLTB
    Strangely it is only sometimes, not every time. Script, not to my knowlege woult a list of my plugins help?

    Next time it happens, I try to change the Theme, maybe it's that.

    You're not using Live Writer and the remoteposting plugin by any chance, are you?

    I had a problem with that screwing up my news feeds because it was changing characters in the entry titles...

    No, don't use that Plugin. But I just found something:

    If I name the entrie eg: "bla bla bla - new bla" the url is sometimes: blog/?u=/2012/01/29/bla-bla-bla---new-bla

    If I rename it to "bla bla bla | new bla" the url is: blog/?u=/2012/01/29/bla-bla-bla-|-new-bla
    and rename it back to "bla bla bla - new bla" the url is now: blog/?u=/2012/01/29/bla-bla-bla-new-bla
    wothout the - between the two -

    Maybe ist PrettyURLs?

    I can't really reproduce your problem. any example you give me always produces (both with the dash and the pipe) produce the same sanitized string "bla-bla-bla-new-bla" for me.

    Are you sure you have not enable any conflicting plugin?
