On my blog I have categories that I can assign to articles. All categories are displayed on the start page of the blog. If a user clicks on a category, he will be directed to a page where all articles of the category are listed. But I have problems with german umlauts. If you click on a category wit…

[image] timhartmann: href="<?= $site->url() . '/blog/' . urldecode($category) ?>"> Shouldn’t it be urlencode($category) at this point?

As @Adspectus wrote plus the second call to urldecode() (for printing the category) in that same line is superfluous.

urlencode doesn’t work :confused: [Screenshot 2020-08-02 at 12.41.01]

Sure @textnixe, but the urlencode doesn’t work also in the href. <a class="rounded-full border border-secondary-600 py-2 px-4 hover:bg-secondary-300 ml-4" href="<?= $site->url() . '/blog/' . urlencode($category) ?>"><?= $category ?></a> [Screenshot 2020-08-02 at 12.43.07]

Well, the other issue is that you are not using a parameter in your url, but then try to filter by parameter. [image] Filter collections by tags Classify content and make it easy for visitors to find related content.

I forgot to say that I basically have everything as it is in your linked thread. Well, it works on routing. But only not if an umlaut is in the category. There I get the error that the pages cannot be found. With other categories I get the articles from the category displayed. But with the urlencod…

Ok, in this case, if the category is urlencoded, your in_array() check will of course fail, because the value inside the array is not urlencoded. The alternative to using urlencoding would be to sluggify the category (would look nicer and more in line with URL slugs in Kirby), but in any case, you n…

Not urlencode what you print out but the anker href as @Adspectus wrote.
