Sorry Chris, was out of pocket. Will check as soon as I can.

Try this edit instead for both spots mentioned above...

$titleId = str_replace(" ", "-", $title);
$titleId = str_replace("&Delta;", "tri", $title);

Let me know if that works.

Best,

Chris

I had to revert the edits as the site is live.

Hi there,

Can you provide a link to your site with the above edits applied? I'll take a look.

Thanks!

Chris

The fix didn't work. When clicking on the label with character, then hitting the DOWN cursor, it takes you back to the top menu item regardless of the number of pages below where the label with the character appears. Also, the DOWN cursor stops working 2 items before the character appears. Not sure why.

Also, in "index.php" change the following on line 41 from this...

$titleId = str_replace(" ", "-", $title);

..to this...

$titleId = str_replace(" ", "-", $title);
$titleId = str_replace("∆", "tri", $title);

Best,

Chris

Hi there,

Try this... open "index.php" and change the following on line 15 from this...

$titleId = str_replace(" ", "-", $title);

...to this...

$titleId = str_replace(" ", "-", $title);
$titleId = str_replace("∆", "tri", $title);

Let me know if that works.

Could be a browser issue - using latest Safari version on MacOS X. Meant "nav" in the title above - self-correcting spelling is a pain.

I just discovered that if you add a special character such as "∆" as part of the label of a regular or Category page the cursor keys in your keyboard will not work correctly - instead of jumping to the next menu item they will advance the panel just one step. I use this character as it is a symbol of my company, and just found out I can't use it as a menu label without disrupting behavior. Can you fix/what is the workaround? Thanks.
