    Hi,

    Your plugin removes all % signs inside a download link.

    So if a link contains an % it won’t work..

    Please fix that issue.

    Thank you

    This is actually done for security. Can you rename your files to not have “empty space” characters? Empty space character (which gets converted to % symbol) is actually not a valid character for the URL.

    It is okay to have spaces in the file name on your computer (Example: My eBook.zip) but remember when you upload it on the server it becomes a URL and a proper URL should not have spaces.

    For example, the following is a good URL:

    
    http://www.example.com/my-ebook.zip
    

    Where as the following is not a good URL since it contains empty space character:

    
    http://www.example.com/my eBook.zip

    This is the access link to a Microsoft teams meeting.

    I can not change it. It has to contain the %.

    Let me investigate this a little more and get back to you.

    We have made a change in the plugin to accept this character in the download URL field. That should resolve this.
