    Hi,
    We are encountering this very weird problem, when we add some places on the map, we get a UNICODE charachter in our URL, but as for the rest of the regions we don’t have any issues and the URLs are clean.

    https://arabian-guide.com/places/egypt/%D9%85%D8%AD%D8%A7%D9%81%D8%B8%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%82%D8%A7%D9%87%D8%B1%D8%A9%E2%80%AC/%D8%B4%D9%8A%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%AA%D9%88%D9%86-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%B7%D8%A7%D8%B1/%D8%A3%D8%B7%D8%A8%D8%A7%D8%A1-%D8%B3%D9%85%D9%86%D8%A9-%D9%88%D9%86%D8%AD%D8%A7%D9%81%D8%A9/test/

    We are adding the lists same way as we do with the other paces that has no problems in their URL but for the live of us we can’t figure out why?

    Your Help is highly appreciated

    How did u add that region? Was it via CSV or manaul input, it just looks like a extra space in the name,

    I still have the problem
    i noticed that this extra space whatever it is has created it’s own business lists.
    So for example i have the same region with its business lists and then i have the same region with an extra space and it too has its own businesses.

    i have no idea how to remove it entirely from the process.

    I know, and i already did, but this weird characters in our URL keep appearing despite merging the locations.

    Now the default way of adding my lists in this particular region of the planet WILL show the strange character in my URL.

    Si i tried to test why it appears, i added a dash ( – ) instead of the space, all works great but i still get this character in other lists.

    am sure i have duplicate of this in my database for some reason, what do i need to mprovide to get this solved!

    I managed to solve the problem by creating a new location in the ( Add / Edit Location ) tab

    Then i entered the address manually

    then i selected this place ( i created ) and merged it with the buggy ones and i selected it as the primary city.

    it’s a lot to go throw specially if i am to scale this business i need to get a team and teach them how to be very vigilant and i doubt they would be able to spot these weird minor issues, it was just hard to see this character that i don’t get why or where was it generated.

    Thank you for your time.

    You can mark this as solved now
