Glen, our WP hosts have replied with this:

I’ve taken the time to review the plugin and also tested its demo at https://woo-commerce.codedropz.com/product/cap/. Based on your description, it seems the problem arises when the plugin attempts to upload directly to a local server via FTP. The error you’re seeing, “URL rejected: Malformed input to a URL function,” is generated by libcurl, which is the library PHP utilizes for HTTP/FTP transfers. It’s important to note that newer versions of libcurl have stopped accepting unencoded spaces in URLs.

To move forward effectively, we would need step-by-step instructions to replicate the issue on our end. This will help us pinpoint the exact function causing the problem and enable us to devise a more targeted solution.

We await your detailed instructions on how to recreate the issue, so we can proceed with the necessary adjustments in the plugin’s code.

Just searching solutions Glen…do I need to speak to the WP hosts about this?

The problem is almost always in the plugin’s JS upload request, where the filename is inserted into a URL without encoding.

You can fix it by forcing WordPress to encode spaces only when generating URLs, leaving the real filename untouched.

Add this to functions.php or a small site plugin:

add_filter(‘wp_get_attachment_url’, function($url) {
return str_replace(‘ ‘, ‘%20’, $url);
});

Result:On diskURL usedCustomer Artwork Final.pdfCustomer%20Artwork%20Final.pdf

Your files stay exactly the same.

That upload worked for me on your site. But still not on ours.

Could Woo or WordPress have an issue?
