It should automatically add %20 instead of a space in file names, to make them work as expected. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/uploaded-filenames-being-escaped#post-99272 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 14:25:41 +0000 Tanmccuin 99272@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Has there been any update to this issue? Currently having the same problem with client site and uploading resumes with spaces in the title. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/uploaded-filenames-being-escaped#post-16802 Fri, 21 Jan 2011 19:50:05 +0000 WPSpecialists 16802@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thank you. Much appreciated. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/uploaded-filenames-being-escaped#post-16800 Fri, 21 Jan 2011 19:45:00 +0000 Carl Hancock 16800@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I received your contact us request on this and have sent it to our lead developer who will look into it. There is nothing you can do currently to prevent this, it's escaping characters because it does this for security reasons before storing it in the database and appears to also be doing this to the filename. We will look at what needs to be changed to resolve this in the next release. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/uploaded-filenames-being-escaped#post-16795 Fri, 21 Jan 2011 19:05:56 +0000 WPSpecialists 16795@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>When users upload a file with non-alphanumeric characters, escape is added to the filename, which renders the file as broken.</p> <p>e.g. User uploads: I'm Broken.mp3<br /> Filename: I\'m Broken.mp</p> <p>Any suggestions on how I can keep this from happening?<br /> Thank you. </p>
