posts with url-encoded post_name dropped

Hi there – thank you for this amazing plugin!

I just noticed that some of my posts were missing from the static export. Turns out it was posts that had url-encoded values as their post_name, for example this: “bedo%cc%88” (wich is, after urldecode, equivalent to “bedö”. Something in simply static is preventing these posts from being exportet.

As a hotfix, I’ve created this little WP-CLI script that “prepares” all my post_name values – but of course, these will lead to 404s (I’m archiving a site that was existing in it’s dynamic form for a long time). Not ideal but oh well. Here’s the script:

/**
 * Sanitize permalinks so that simply-static doesn't miss them in it's exports
 * Usage: wp sanitize-permalinks
 */
if (defined('WP_CLI') && WP_CLI) {
    WP_CLI::add_command('sanitize-permalinks', function() {
        $post_types = array_values([
            'page',
            ...get_post_types(['public' => true, '_builtin' => false])
        ]);
        $posts = get_posts([
            'post_type' => $post_types,
            'post_status' => 'any',
            'posts_per_page' => -1,
        ]);

        foreach ($posts as $post) {
            $original = $post->post_name;
            $sanitized = sanitize_title(urldecode($original));
            if ($original === $sanitized) continue;

            wp_update_post([
                'ID' => $post->ID,
                'post_name' => $sanitized
            ]);

            WP_CLI::success("Sanitized post_name for '$post->post_title'. Before: $original, After: $sanitized");
        }
    });
}
