In reply to: [Volunteer Sign Up Sheets] Code snippet showing up on sign-up emailsP.S. – Regarding Word, never use that for copy and pasting if you can avoid it. Use the simple text editor in Windows or whatever machine you are on if you need to copy and paste text.

In reply to: [Volunteer Sign Up Sheets] Code snippet showing up on sign-up emailsWord is notorious for having lots of hidden formatting characters that cause issues with the WordPress text editor, which is one of the reasons the WordPress tinyMCE editor had the paste as plain text option to try to strip all that stuff out.
However, if you tried deleting and typing that line again, and are still getting those characters, then those characters are probably coming from the actual task/item title… especially if it’s just happening for that one task/item, or if you copied a bunch of those from Word when you were creating the sheet. Try going back to the sheet and edit your tasks and make sure there is nothing hidden at the end of the titles. If necessary, completely delete all the text for the title, save, and then type it in again and save again and see if that fixes it.
Those characters are definitely coming from some text on your site, either in the template or in the actual task/item title that is replacing the template tag. No other reports of anything like this happening, and I switched my dev site back to plain text and tested with the default confirmation emails, as well as with an alternative confirmation email template, and everything is still working just fine here.

In reply to: [Volunteer Sign Up Sheets] Code snippet showing up on sign-up emailsLook in your email templates for the confirmation emails. Looks like maybe you had emails set to HTML format and then maybe switched back to plain text and some of the paragraph and line break tags added by the WordPress html editor are still in the template. If you can’t see them when looking at the editor, just use backspace or delete to join the two lines together again (Task/Item and Date), and then use a carriage return to split them to a new line again… hopefully that will delete any hidden tags.

In reply to: [Volunteer Sign Up Sheets] Braking Change with {validation_link}?Now wordpress.org won’t let me reply from my main account because of a more strict branded account policy.
I think at one point when implementing the newer consolidated template tag class and functions we added some code to make any URLs clickable if you have emails set to HTML. Not intending to break anything, as I didn’t think about the case of people trying to make their own clickable links from the raw URL. So far, you’re the only one who has reported this as an issue. Usually if I have added a new feature that could change existing behavior, I have made a new option you need to use to enable the feature, so that it doesn’t affect existing sites.
When I return I will add a new option to disable the automatic URL encoding.
