Question No unicode URLS after upgrading to K1.7.1

I'm not sure if your problem is similar or whether it's fixed by the suggestions made in this topic. Have you tried any of those suggestions?

I would also recommend that you upgrade Kunena Latest to version 1.7.1 and that you read carefully, and follow the advice given in, Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)

Could you explain why "Unicode Aliases" option should be set to "No" in Joomla 1.7?

Thank you for your answer. I was actually using Kunena 1.7.1 but I forgot to upgrade the Latest Module.

I didn't try any of the suggestions, not because I was lazy, but because I wasn't not sure the problem was similar to the one mentioned here.

But thanks to you, I had a closer look at the SEO settings, and found a way out of the problem. I disabled "Activate UTF-8 support" (approximate translation as my forum is in French). This way, it deletes the accents when creating the URL in the category page. But I don't think it's a fix because if I had a lot of posts with these accents, I think I would have to edit each title. And it wasn't a problem before, so I don't get how come it's a problem now.

Thanks again for your comment.

I don't think you will have to change anything.

Two quick comments:

1. I said something stupid: it seems the URLs are generated each time you load a page, so I wouldn't have to change all the posts.

2. Unicode Aliases set to no --> I'm not sure I'm asked the question, but I don't know why to be honest (isn't the default setting?), but whether it is set on "yes" or "no", it generates a link with "%C3" instead of "à" when "activate UTF-8 support" is set on "yes".

I don't remember writing that anywhere, sorry.
