    Hello all,

    I am currently frustrated by a URL that contains a : (colon). This is probably replaced by the YOAST plugin or by some entry in the .htaccess (mod_rewrite) with a %3. Is there a way to not encode colons or any other characters? Unfortunately I couldn’t find anything about it anywhere else.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    You can use a colon (:) in a URL, but as far as I’m aware it’s a reserved character that you can only use at the start; in the http(s):// part.

    These are some other reserved characters:

    reserved = ";" | "/" | "?" | ":" | "@" | "&" | "=" | "+" | "$" | ","

    I’m guessing the browser interprets the character and writes something different.

    Here is more info on which characters you can use in a URL.
