That might have been the case. Although I did activate the plugin before. Thank you for your input :)

Sorry, I meant enabled Craft's `limitAutoSlugsToAscii` config setting, not the plugin.

<p>I came across a weird bug with a title containing a &quot;%&quot; character not converting into a proper slug. So the website editor created the title &quot;Berlenga: a 100% sustainable island&quot; that didn't get turned into a proper slug. It generated the slug exactly as the title. When she went to make changes, Craft threw in a bad request error.</p>
<p>I was able to edit the slug inside the database and she got back access the entry, but I am wondering if there is a way to prevent this from happening again. I'm using the &quot;Slug Equals Title&quot; plugin, which works greatly for localised entries, and I did activate &quot;limitAutoSlugsToAscii&quot;. Is there something else I need to do?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

Error accessing entry when title has special characters
# Error accessing entry when title has special characters

(Asked by: username_0 on 2021-03-05)

I came across a weird bug with a title containing a "%" character not converting into a proper slug. So the website editor created the title "Berlenga: a 100% sustainable island" that didn't get turned into a proper slug. It generated the slug exactly as the title. When she went to make changes, Craft threw in a bad request error.

I was able to edit the slug inside the database and she got back access the entry, but I am wondering if there is a way to prevent this from happening again. I'm using the "Slug Equals Title" plugin, which works greatly for localised entries, and I did activate "limitAutoSlugsToAscii". Is there something else I need to do?

Thanks!

I've never used that plugin, but it looks like they do respect Craft's `limitAutoSlugsToAscii` config setting, which should prevent a `%` from getting into the slug.

But that setting only applies to new entries and newly created slugs, and I'm guessing you enabled the Craft `limitAutoSlugsToAscii` config setting after the entry in question was already created.

You should be good going forward, though.
