Custom Permalink is encoding symbols

    I trying to create custom category permalinks to /recipes/?fwp_categories=%post-category% as this will open my recipe index with the correct category selected. However something is changing symbols ? and = into %3F and %3D.

    ‘/recipes/?fwp_categories=gluten-free’ is becoming ‘/recipes/%3Ffwp_categories%3Dgluten-free’ and therefore doesn’t open my recipe index with the correct filter selected.

    Does anyone know what is causing these symbols to change? How can I stop them from changing?

    Thanks!

    ? and = are special characters in URLs, so WordPress is not going to permit those characters in permalink structure.

    Can you do /recipes/gluten-free/ instead?
