I'm currently experiencing this on a WAMP setup. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/uploaded-files-with-incorrect-links-when-using-encoding-in-filename#post-67586 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 16:30:00 +0000 David Peralty 67586@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Yeah, something is re-encoding URLs, but I'm not sure where to point you currently. You might want to talk to your web host and see if he has something turned on regarding URL encoding. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/uploaded-files-with-incorrect-links-when-using-encoding-in-filename#post-67537 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 10:25:54 +0000 Manu 67537@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Both my Wordpress and Gravity Forms are using the latest version.</p> <p>Do you have any idea what host setting could be causing this? Something in the php.ini or apache.conf? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/uploaded-files-with-incorrect-links-when-using-encoding-in-filename#post-66711 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 16:34:24 +0000 Rob Harrell 66711@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Interestingly enough another user posted earlier with a similar issue:<br /> <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/file-upload-saving-special-characters-as-urlencoded#post-66678" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/file-upload-saving-special-characters-as-urlencoded#post-66678</a></p> <p>However, as you'll see in my post - I had a different result. I'm thinking this is a host setting of some kind.</p> <p>Update - looks like the other user was running an old WP install - are you running the most current versions of WP and GF? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/uploaded-files-with-incorrect-links-when-using-encoding-in-filename#post-66709 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 16:31:43 +0000 Manu 66709@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have a form created in Gravity Forms with a file upload for a CV. Most of the time this works great, and I can click on the link in the backend or in the notification email to download the file. For some files that are uploaded with encoding for spaces, the link takes me to a filepath like follows:</p> <p>eg. website.com/wp-content/uploads/gravity_forms/1-31a61026fe30a7630418b37f2537a40b/2012/07/Ali%2520Hadi%2520resume%5B1%5D11.doc</p> <p>However this returns a 404 error.</p> <p>When I navigate to the file in an FTP browser, I can verify the filename is Ali%2520Hadi%2520resume%5B1%5D11.doc which matches the filename in the URL, however when I grab the path to the file from my FTP browser, I get:</p> <p>website.com/wp-content/uploads/gravity_forms/1-31a61026fe30a7630418b37f2537a40b/2012/07/Ali%252520Hadi%252520resume%255B1%255D11.doc</p> <p>Notice the extra 25 in 2520 to make it 252520. This link actually works, however Gravity Forms isn't using this link.</p> <p>Is this a bug with a system or something that can be easily corrected with an .htaccess file? </p>
