Problem with url in chinese

Hi Team,

I am experiencing some problem with the Chinese url and link.

Since the url of a post will be named after the post’s title, my website is based in Chinese, therefore the part of the post’s url would be in Chinese, such as (http://thetripaddict.com/index.php/2017/09/22/泰國「多啦a夢」救護車/)

and when I click the link of these posts with Chinese urls it will direct me to the “Ooops… Error 404, Sorry, but the page you are looking for doesn’t exist.” page.

I have to edit the url and change it to English in order to make it to work.

This problem happens to my drop down menu as well, since I have named most of my “category” items in Chinese, when I click a category item in my dropdown menu, it will direct me to the Error 404 page as well.

Please let me know how to solve this problem, thanks.

jumphr,

I suggest you not to use Chinese in URLs, since it’s might be not very good for SEO, and also people with different device/browser might experience problems to accessing this URLs. Also your server/hosting settings should support these kind of urls.

Options:
1. You can manually change all urls to pinyin/English
2. Use some wordpress plugins to convert Chinese URL to Pinyin
3. Change URL structure to use post ID instead of slug.

Thanks for the reply

The post url issue is ok because I can change the url name.
but for the “category” issue, since my “category tags” are in Chinese, when my visitors click my category page, such as “http://thetripaddict.com/index.php/category/美食/”, it will go to Error404.

Thanks
