Every link with a % in the url structur changed in an another link. And the generatet link is broken. * Is this a bug? * Thanks for help. * Plugin Author [Bas Schuiling](https://wordpress.org/support/users/basszje/) * (@basszje) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/leadpages-link-changed-after-saving-the-button/#post-6076604) * I checked and it seems a problem indeed. For security reasons it filters things that are entered / sent to the plugin. It seems that the % causes a problem with that. * I’ll put it on the bug list. Is there no other way to make this leadpages URL’s? Maybe via an URL shorten function or so. * [LeadPagesHappyTeam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leadpageshappyteam/) * (@leadpageshappyteam) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/leadpages-link-changed-after-saving-the-button/#post-6076607) * [@koubav](https://wordpress.org/support/users/koubav/), we saw everything working correctly on your site.

The link works if I replace “%3A” through “:” But it has the disadvantage that the pop of Leadbox is not placed over the Website. The link will open in a new page. * It seems as required Lead Pages the original link with …%3A … * I hope there is an improvement of MaxButton. Previously it worked. * Plugin Author [Bas Schuiling](https://wordpress.org/support/users/basszje/) * (@basszje) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/leadpages-link-changed-after-saving-the-button/#post-6076704) * I’m not sure how that works, opening with something placed over the current page, but the way Max Buttons works is just adding a common link to pages, so it should work with replacing the %3A code with a colon ( : ) . Maybe the open in new page checkbox is checked? * [precomgroup](https://wordpress.org/support/users/precomgroup/) * (@precomgroup) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/leadpages-link-changed-after-saving-the-button/#post-6076707) * Hi Bas Schuiling * No, the checkbox “open in new windows” is deaktivated. Leadpage is correct working it use a Leadpage Plugin. And I think the Plugin needs the right link with the% 3A. * But I can not understand, why MaxButton generate a new link. What is the reason? * [precomgroup](https://wordpress.org/support/users/precomgroup/) * (@precomgroup) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/leadpages-link-changed-after-saving-the-button/#post-6076708) * Check [https://precomgroup.ch/](https://precomgroup.ch/) * The first yellow Button is a Max Button with a modified Leadpage Link, also (:) * and the blue Linktext (Memberbereich) under the yellow Button is a original Leadpage Link. * You can see, the second Link is working, the MaxButton link is not working. * Plugin Author [Bas Schuiling](https://wordpress.org/support/users/basszje/) * (@basszje) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/leadpages-link-changed-after-saving-the-button/#post-6076710) * It’s not a matter of the link, the leadpages link includes much more data than just a simple URL. This is something we will want to add in the future, but for now it’s not possible. * [precomgroup](https://wordpress.org/support/users/precomgroup/) * (@precomgroup) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/leadpages-link-changed-after-saving-the-button/#post-6076732) * but for 1 month the same link was working with the same link. I didnt change something. * Plugin Author [Bas Schuiling](https://wordpress.org/support/users/basszje/) * (@basszje) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/leadpages-link-changed-after-saving-the-button/#post-6076735) * I can advice for the time being to get back to the previous version ( you an find it under ‘developers’ here I think ). I have no clue how it worked, since it should not work, even in the old version.
