blank spaces in url show %20 not –

[JustinJon3sParticipant]

Ajax Search Pro used in peeps as per peepso’s recommendation.

My problem is that when I search for a peepso profile and the result has a blank.
For instance:
search for “John Doe” the result shows a profile (avatar does not show up only default please help with this too)
the link in peepso is :
john-doe
ajax link to the profile is:
john%20doe

The search works fine if there is no spaces in the name. It is using the custom scheme “profile/{USER_LOGIN}” and works well(except for the avatar issue) when the username has no spaces for instance profile/johndoe

We have not publicly launched yet.

Please help

I found a work around. adding a function to not allow for usernames with spaces.

// Force no username spaces
function custom_validate_username($valid, $username ) {
if (preg_match(“/\\s/”, $username)) {
// there are spaces
return $valid=false;
}

return $valid;
}

Well, there might be a way to do that via custom code, but I am not sure if it would work.

First, change the custom URL structure, so that the {user_login} variable is not there at the end, so in your case I guess it’s:

profile/

Then, try adding this custom code to the functions.php in your theme/child theme directory. Before editing, please make sure to have a full site back-up just in case!

add_filter( 'asp_results', 'asp_custom_ur_url', 10, 1 );
function asp_custom_ur_url($results) {
	foreach ( $results as $k => &$r ) {
		if ( $r->content_type == 'user' ) {
			$u = get_user_by('ID', $r->id);
			$r->link .= preg_replace("/[^A-Za-z0-9 ]/", '-', $u->user_login);
		}
	}
	return $results;
}

This should append the user login to the end of each user result URL, replacing any non-alphanumeric character with a dash.
