    Hi,

    After one of the recent updates all our Connections images and logos with cyrillic slugs stopped working.

    The problem is, UTF-8 folder names inside wp-content/uploads/connections-images are urlencoded, such as:
    %d0%b5%d0%bb%d0%b5%d0%bd%d0%b0-%d0%bb%d0%b5%d0%b2%d0%b8%d0%bd or %d0%be%d0%bb%d1%8c%d0%b3%d0%b0-%d1%81%d1%82%d0%b5%d1%88%d0%ba%d0%b8%d0%bd%d0%b0. But the HTTP server looks for UTF-8 folder names, such as елена-левин or ольга-стешкина, as it’s supposed to.

    Could you please advise what can be done here to fix the problem?

    Thanks,
    Vince

    @ Vincent

    The actual folder and filename are encoded? Huh! I use a core WordPress function sanitize_title() which in turn uses sanitize_title_with_dashes(). In that later function it does indeed check for UTF8 and encodes them to be URI safe. I never know that! I wonder why?

    I use that function to create entry slug, this slug is also used to create the entry file folder name.

    It seems is can also do a check for UTF8 and use the sanitize_file_name() instead to create the entry slug.

    Could I get a temp admin account and temp access to FTP so I can test this to make sure the solution will work? The login details can be sent via the contact link at the bottom of the page.

    I’m going to mark this resolved as version 8.1.5 should address any issues with UTF8 Cyrillic slugs.
