I have a dynamic collection item with the title “Foo: Bar”, this gets turned into the url “Foo%3A-Bar”, but I want the url to be “Foo-Bar”, I want to REMOVE the “:” instead of escaping/encoding it into “%3A”. Is this possible with Wix or Velo?

How to remove escaped characters from dynamic url title?

Hello! Here’s what I learned that may help you…

The dynamic page urls are encoded (which you can see) through encodeURIComponent() so what has worked for others is to use decodeURIComponent()
