Image Upload with "#" in title failing

  1. Issue at http://ufonut.com/wordpress/?page_id=2053

    ...we have a number of clients in the video industry who post video clips that are typically labeled with #...... We tested some uploads such as File #37.mov or File #37.png. The files passed successfully if the "#" was removed. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee what a client will do. Can anyone recommend a solution other than telling them to mark it out prior to upload?

  2. We will look into this and try recreating it on our end and then see if we can change Gravity Forms to handle files with a # in the filename.

  3. Hi,

    Has there been any progress on this issue? I'm also encountering this problem so when we come to view uploaded images in the admin, we are taken to a 404 page because Wordpress stops trying to parse the URL at the hash.
    Ideally, the solution would be to strip the # from the filename at the upload stage so it is stored without the #.
