    In the field for the twitter url, someone typed “https://twitter.com/Coppermines?ref_src=twsrc^google|twcamp^serp|twgr^author” and this messed up the frontend display. Instead of “Twitter” what showed was “google|twcamp^serp|twgr^author” instead.

    There should be a filter in your code to not allow the URL or at least remove the characters before displaying.

    Hello Ann,

    In url custom field “|” is used to separate link & link label. For example if you use 

    https://www.mysite.com|My Site

    then on frontend it will use “My Site” as a link label.

    If you are using “|” in urls for the purpose other then link label, use “%7C” instead of “|”. Ex: 

    https://twitter.com/Coppermines?ref_src=twsrc^google%7Ctwcamp^serp%7Ctwgr^author

    Thanks,
    Kiran
