Remove %3 and %7 from URL

Post by bangmaster »

I am receiving strange values in my URL, but I don't know what they mean. Values include %3 and %7. Can anyone assist? See attached.

That's URL encoding - URLs can't contain spaces or a range of other special characters, and so are replaced by a % and 2 hex characters.
For example, a space is converted to %20.
Looks like you have %3D and %7C there - you can look up the codes at w3schools (and many other places).

You might want to try ticking the "Replace Reserved Characters with underscores in filenames" box on the HTML5 Target properties dialog (see below).
