Endpoints containing slashes `/` are encoded incorrectly

Resolved

Resolved in: 4.5.0

Overview of the issue

Users using WooCommerce extensions or other plugins or themes utilizing endpoints like wc-auth/v1 might see those endpoints incorrectly url-encoded to something like wc-auth%2Fv1.

This can cause compatibility issues with those plugins or themes in the latest versions of WPML.

Workaround

Our developers are working on a permanent fix for this issue. As a temporary solution, please try the following steps:

Back up your website completely.

  • Make sure that all of your plugins are up-to-date.
  • Edit the file wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/classes/url-handling/class-wpml-endpoints-support.php and modify Line 95

 

From:

return urlencode( $endpoint_translation );

To:

return implode('/', array_map('urlencode', explode('/', $endpoint_translation)));

This change should not affect endpoints that do not contain a slash.
