Redirect url & changes to &

    I have entered an URL containing a custom login page, this URL contains & signs after the ? mark because we got multiple parameters.

    But when UM redirects to this page it converts the & to &
    Then the URL does not work anymore.

    I would expect that the URL would not be converted into something else, or at least a possibility to escape. Does anyone know how to fix this or see how the bug is happening

    Hello @thijs4alliander

    Sorry for the late answer.

    I checked my local site and I haven’t this issue. Did you set up redirect in the UM login form setting? In the “Options” sidebar?

    Thank you.

    Hello Andrewshu,
    Thanks for your reaction,

    We set it up on the UM/Settings/Acces/Restrictions Content
    We set Global Site Acces to “Site accessible to logged in users”
    We filled in our own Custom Redirect URL which includes &

    The UM works mostly as expected, users that are not logged in are redirected to the custom URL. But every & sign gets replaced by & #038; (without the space like the html code over here https://www.toptal.com/designers/htmlarrows/punctuation/ampersand/)

    This makes the URL not work properly anymore.

    Excuse my multiple tries, the editor converts the html code to a real ampersand, something that does not happen in the navigation

    Hello @thijs4alliander

    Thank you for your feedback. We will fix this in the next release. As a hotfix you could use this code in functions.php file in your child theme:

    add_action( 'um_access_check_global_settings', 'my_access_check_global_settings', 10 );
function my_access_check_global_settings() {
	$arr_params = array(
        'param1' => 'value1',
        'param2' => 'value2',
    );
	$redirect = add_query_arg( $arr_params, um_get_core_page( 'login' ) );
	wp_redirect( esc_url_raw( $redirect ) );
    exit();
}

    You need to change the $arr_params array to your params from the link.

    Thank you.

    @andrewshu We didn’t get the hotfix to work. We decided to go with an other hotfix for now (knowing it will be fixed in next release) of a shorten url.
    I’ll close the topic.
