Hi,
Thanks for getting in touch with us.
Yes, we convert those automatically because by default.
%3A actually means :
%22 means "
Etc.
Please check this for more details:

Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
Hi Todd,
I am still not sure about some convertions that happen in the plugin. Let me give you another example which I can’t figure out which destination URL I should use to make it work. In this example, I changed all the %3A and %20 for the character itself, ‘:’ and ‘ ‘, but it seems that character ‘+’ is also replaced by a white space, but the resulting URL is not working (the filter parameters):
Step 1: Original URL copied from browser that contains %3A…

Step 2: Edited URL replacing escaped characters (%3A –> :, %22 –> “, %20 –> ‘white space’ ). This is the URL I copy to Redirections:
https://www.bikeinn.com/ciclismo/zapatillas-hombre-zapatillas-ciclismo/4074/s#fq=id_familia:4001&fq={!tag=ds}id_subfamilia:4074&fq=id_tienda:4&sort=v30+desc,product(tm4, dispo)+asc&start=0&fq=atributos:-767_2933_1-767_2413_1-767_3156_1-767_2922_1-767_2412_1-767_2414_1-
Step 3: Destination URL generated by Redirections:
https://www.bikeinn.com/ciclismo/zapatillas-hombre-zapatillas-ciclismo/4074/s#fq=id_familia:4001&fq={!tag=ds}id_subfamilia:4074&fq=id_tienda:4&sort=v30 desc,product(tm4, dispo) asc&start=0&fq=atributos:-767_2933_1-767_2413_1-767_3156_1-767_2922_1-767_2412_1-767_2414_1-
In this example, can you tell me which URL should I use in step 2 to make it work?
Thank you!
Hello,
I have forwarded this issue to our Development Team for further debugging. They will take a closer look at this and release an update if needed.
In the meantime, if there is anything else please let us know. Thank you.
Actually RankMath should not URL-Encode or convert the target URLs at all as this will lead to issues with parameters…
Hi Michael,
Thank you for chiming in 🙂
I have passed this on to our dev team!
