Good day,
I have a problem with permalinks of users.My language is Slovak with special characters (example:ľščťžťýáíé).
If I change Settings/Users/ “Profile Permalink Base to “First and Last Name “,
Users permalink look like …/user/Konštantín.Kočiš/.
(First Name: Konštantín, Last Name: Kočiš).
How can I fix it for permalink …/user/konstantin.kocis/
Thanks for your reply.

Hi Micocico,

I had a similar problem with accent characters becoming part of the Ultimate Member user permalink.

To fix, I had to add a custom filter to /plugins/ultimate-member/core/um-permalinks.php on line 443 inside the “name_dash” case in the switch statement. Unfortunately this gets overwritten with each plugin update but it does solve the problem.

$full_name_slug = apply_filters(“um_generate_permalink_filter”, $full_name_slug);

With that filter in place, I then added code to my functions.php file to remove each character for the URL.

function change_um_slug($value)
{
$replacements = array(
‘Á’ => ‘a’,
‘á’ => ‘a’,
‘É’ => ‘e’,
‘é’ => ‘e’,
‘Ç’ => ‘c’,
‘ç’ => ‘c’,
‘Í’ => ‘i’,
‘í’ => ‘i’,
‘Ñ’ => ‘n’,
‘ñ’ => ‘n’,
‘Ó’ => ‘o’,
‘ó’ => ‘o’,
‘ú’ => ‘u’,
‘Ü’ => ‘u’,
‘ü’ => ‘u’,
‘(‘ => ”,
‘)’ => ”,
‘”‘ => ”
);
foreach($replacements as $replacement => $replace)
{
$value = str_replace($replacement, $replace, $value);
}
return $value;
}
add_filter(‘um_generate_permalink_filter’, ‘change_um_slug’, 10, 2);

Hope this works for you and hopefully the Ultimate Member team will include a filter in this file in a future release.

Regards,
~Scott

Thanks for sharing. For me this don’t have affects to permalink. So I changed this, add some more specialchars for german, french and italian and paste everything into /plugins/ultimate-member/core/um-permalinks.php#442.
```
$replacements = array(
    'Á' => 'a',
    'á' => 'a',
    'À' => 'a',
    'à' => 'a',
    'Â' => 'a',
    'â' => 'a',
    'Ä' => 'ae',
    'ä' => 'ae',
    'Æ' => 'ae',
    'æ' => 'ae',
    'É' => 'e',
    'é' => 'e',
    'È' => 'e',
    'è' => 'e',
    'Ê' => 'e',
    'ê' => 'e',
    'Ë' => 'e',
    'ë' => 'e',
    'Ç' => 'c',
    'ç' => 'c',
    'Ì' => 'i',
    'ì' => 'i',
    'Í' => 'i',
    'í' => 'i',
    'Î' => 'i',
    'î' => 'i',
    'Ï' => 'i',
    'ï' => 'i',
    'Ñ' => 'n',
    'ñ' => 'n',
    'Ò' => 'o',
    'ò' => 'o',
    'Ó' => 'o',
    'ó' => 'o',
    'Ô' => 'o',
    'ô' => 'o',
    'Ö' => 'oe',
    'ö' => 'oe',
    'Œ' => 'oe',
    'œ' => 'oe',
    'ß' => 'ss',
    'Ù' => 'u',
    'ù' => 'u',
    'Ú' => 'u',
    'ú' => 'u',
    'û' => 'u',
    'û' => 'u',
    'Ü' => 'ue',
    'ü' => 'ue',
    'Ÿ' => 'y',
    'ÿ' => 'y',
    '(' => '',
    ')' => '',
    '”' => ''
);
foreach($replacements as $replacement => $replace)
	$full_name_slug = str_replace( $replacement , $replace, $full_name_slug );
```
