Hello
Added it to our theme’s functions.php file but it still isn’t working
We actually debugged the issue further and we can’t seem to change the permalinks at all? It doesn’t seem to be exclusive to accent characters but when we change a post’s permalink and then hit save, it reverts back to the default permalink. We can’t seem to change it at all?
Thank you again!

Can you please try to create post with English characters permalink only? Does that work? Also, please sent me an example permalink that you like to create along with the screenshot of General WordPress settings.
Thanks & Regards,
Sami

Hi @sasiddiqui
Purely english characters doesn’t work either. Can’t seem to change the permalink at all, on any page
Old posts work with accent characters but as soon as I update any of the posts, the permalinks are reverted to the original and we can’t change them anymore
I’ve DM’d screenshots of both
Thank you again!

Do you have an email I can send the settings to? Thank you again!
@nhrz You can send me an email at [email protected]

Have you removed this filter? If not then please remove the filter and create the test post to check the permalink functionality again.
Thanks & Regards,

@sasiddiqui Hi, yes without the filter it works but it acts very weirdly. I will send you a video via email
I’ve also sent you the screenshots
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t, but the special characters never work. I’ll send more info via email
Thank you!
any news on this? I have a very similar problem, and am at my wits’ end…
Also, when you say “add this filter”, assuming it is a solution, WHERE, exactly, should it be added? In which PHP file??? Thanks

You can add the filter in the theme functions.php file (In case you have a custom theme or a child theme is enabled) otherwise you can add it in the custom plugin.

OK, now it is clear, thanks
@nhrz Thank you for providing screenshot and video recording of your screen. I have sent you further question to debug the issue.
As per my testing, filter is working fine as expected. I have found 1 weird issue in your General Settings that I have pointed out in the email, please review and provide me your feedback there.
Thanks & Regards,
Sami
