 * Hi all,
 * i notice a bug with custom post type with emphasis (i use them, i’m french) and
   pagination.
    i’m currently developing a website where i use my own custom post
   type for accomodation/restaurant. So a user can select a type of accomodation/
   restaurant (eg : Hôtel, Restaurant, Camping, etc.) by clicking on a tag then 
   it can refine its choice by click on a tag of the town name (eg : Villers-Cotterêts).
   The problem is that, if the name of the town contains an emphasis when i click
   on “Next page” i got a 301 redirect and my emphasis caracters are removed during
   the redirection :(… So the name of town (Villers-Cotterêts) becomes “Villers-
   Cotterts” and no record is found…
 * Of course, i’ve tried to hard code the name of the town in my ‘meta_value’ and
   then, everything works fine. Despite the redirection, WP show me the next pages
   for the selected criteria.
 * In my code, i use a syntax with querystring to generate my url.
    example : [http://mywebsite.fr/commerce/type/restaurant/?ville=Villers-Cotter%C3%AAts](http://mywebsite.fr/commerce/type/restaurant/?ville=Villers-Cotter%C3%AAts)
   so the next page link (generated by the ‘next_posts_link’ function) will be [http://mywebsite.fr/commerce/type/restaurant/page/2/?ville=Villers-Cotter%C3%AAts](http://mywebsite.fr/commerce/type/restaurant/page/2/?ville=Villers-Cotter%C3%AAts)
   but if i click on it the WP redirect me (by a 301 error) to [http://mywebsite.fr/commerce/type/hotel/page/2/?ville=Villers-Cotterts](http://mywebsite.fr/commerce/type/hotel/page/2/?ville=Villers-Cotterts)(
   notice the removing of ê).
 * [EDIT]It seems that WP removes space in names too…[/EDIT]
 * Does someone have a solution/hack to bypass this ?
 * TIA.
 * Amicably,
 * Pierre.

 * > It seems that WP removes space in names too.
 * It replaces them with a hyphen (-) IIRC. That’s all a part of URL sanitization.
   You can have your page title be what you want (Hôtel) but the PAGENAME would 
   be hotel (all lowercase, no accent mark).
 * You can see [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/9591](http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/9591)
   for how messy this has been :/

 * Hi Ipstenu,
    but it’s a parameter that i need to keep because i have to use it
   in my ‘meta_value’ parameter and that’s for what i used a querystring… It works
   when the url is not paginated. WP sanitize it only on pagination…

 * You’ll notice how that trac ticket is still open? 🙂 Like I said, messy, and 
   it’s an ongoing issue. I would post about this problem there, because it’s very
   likely related.
