Workaround
This issue is fixed. Updating to the latest version solves it on your site, so you only need this workaround if you can’t update yet.
Please, make sure of having a full site backup of your site before proceeding.
- Open …/wp-content/plugins/seo-by-rank-math/includes/modules/woocommerce/class-product-redirection.php file.
- Look for line 110.
- Replace:
$new_link = implode( '/', array_map( 'rawurlencode', explode( '/', ltrim( $new_link, '/' ) ) ) ); // encode everything but slashes.
- With:
if ((preg_match('/%[0-9A-Fa-f]{2}/', $new_link))) { $new_link = rawurldecode($new_link); } $new_link = implode( '/', array_map( 'rawurlencode', explode( '/', ltrim( $new_link, '/' ) ) ) ); // encode everything but slashes.
