Percentage Encoding/Custom permalinks not working

    I wish to create custom permalinks for my pages/posts containing question signs, equal signs, dots and dashes. I have tried the plugin Custom Permalinks, it just adds percentage signs in the URL, dots works fine, but any other character (except letters and numbers) are returned as percentage code. I have tried adding the percentage code in manually and this works in the page/post area, but when I go to the page, the percentage signs are back. I’ve made sure that the permalinks settings are set to postname. Anyone got any ideas?

    What exactly do you want to achieve with these permalinks? You did check under Settings > Permalinks all your different options to structure your permalinks, right?

    Also, please read up on url safe characters, as for example detailed here

    Alphanumerics [0-9a-zA-Z], special characters $-_.+!*'(),, and reserved characters used for their reserved purposes (e.g., question mark used to denote a query string)

    Yes I checked under settings, but since there are several different custom URLs I wish to create with pretty much nothing in common I can’t use the permalink structure. Also, I have very limited knowledge of coding, so I wish to avoid getting into too complicated stuff. I have used this plugin before and also percentage coding for the same purpose without trouble, which is why I’m wondering if there is an easy-fix.

    If you are having trouble with the plugin, you should ask in its support forum:
    https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/custom-permalinks

    Also, can you give us an example of how your final urls should look, and how they look now?

    This is what I want:
    test.com/pag?_pageid=128&_dad=sip31&_schema=SITOP32
    This is what I get:
    test.com/pag%3F_pageid%3D128%26_dad%3Dsip31%26_schema%3DSITOP32

    I will check the support forum too, thanks
