    Hi John,

    First of all, congratulate you on the fantastic job.

    Unfortunately, I am having some issues redirecting pages in Korean, Japanese, Russian and other languages that require decoding.

    Just as an example…

    The following redirect works well:

    /ko/
    /ko/%ec%86%a1%ec%b9%98-%ec%b9%b4%ed%8e%ab/

    However the following do not work properly:

    /ko/송치-카펫/
    /ko/%ec%86%a1%ec%b9%98-%ec%b9%b4%ed%8e%ab/

    /ko/%EC%86%A1%EC%B9%98-%EC%B9%B4%ED%8E%AB/
    /ko/%ec%86%a1%ec%b9%98-%ec%b9%b4%ed%8e%ab/

    Could you please give me some guideline where to start to fix this?

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Do you have a URL I can look at? What redirect have you created for this?

    I don’t know what that page is. Can you send a URL that isn’t redirecting (as a text URL), along with a screenshot of the settings for the redirect?

    Hi John,

    I don’t think it is a redirect problem but rather that I am doing something wrong in its configuration and I cannot realize where the problem is.

    As I said, misconfigurations appear with the languages that require decoding (Russian, Chinese, Korean, Japanese). It seems that it is a matter of uppercase and lowercase but I do not how to solve it.

    I am attaching two screenshots in which you can see the issue I am referring to:

    1.- https://cutt.ly/RtTnh3F
    2.- https://cutt.ly/QtTnfD6

    Please let me know if you need temporary access.

    Thanks!

    Sorry, they don’t really help, and it’s hard for me to compare Korean words.

    Can you copy/paste a URL that isn’t working, and include a screenshot of the redirect you created in Redirection for this.

    I note that you are using Cloudflare, and this can cache your redirects. You may need to clear your cache.

    Hi John, thanks for your response.

    Here is the URL that isn’t working.

    Below I include two screenshots:

    Cloudflare has been cleared and is in Development Mode.

    Thanks for your time.

    You appear to have a redirect for the same Korean characters that redirects to the same URL, thus creating a loop. What purpose is the redirect?

    Yes, that’s right. However, it does not redirect to the same URL, since one of them is written in lowercase and the other in uppercase.

    Google recognizes Korean characters and decodes them in capitals, that’s why I need to redirect the url.

    Polylang Pro only seems to decode in lowercase and that seems to be what causes the problem.

    As far as I am aware they refer to the same URL – case doesn’t matter in this case as it is hexadecimal numbers, not characters. Your redirect from upper to lower case is causing the problem.

    I don’t know what you mean about Polylang Pro, but I would assume that is a separate issue.

    I had simply added that redirect so that you could see the issue I was referring to.

    Fortunately I solved the problem. This is an internal error handling special characters in Polylang Pro plugin. Nothing to do with Redirection plugin.

    Thanks again for your time, John!

    Best.
