I'm using an apostrophe in the names of two of my categories (i.e. children's). But it looks like WSN links doesn't like the apostrophe so much. I have mod-rewrite enabled, but for some reason it doesn't change the name of the categories with the apostrophe. Any recommendations to make it work?
If special characters are used in category names with rewriting, it automatically falls back to numerical rewriting (so that it still works in every situation I can generate).

Hi All,

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
We have several special characters that we need to use in both out categories and links. These include:
. (period)
, (comma)
+ (plus)
' (apostrophe)
Possibly some others, but these for the time being.
Paul: You indicate that it will automatically fall back to numerical rewriting, but all I get is a server error.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Please submit a category for me that won't work... I'm unable to make one: http://sandbox.wsnforum.com/box5/
username 'admin' and password 'temp' if you need that.
