Parens in Page Name

I'm upgrading a site from 5.6 to 6.2.2 (Professional Version) and am facing a minor page naming problem.

There are pages with names like "Product A (2 to 6 pounds)"

In 5.6 the URLs to these pages are like "/Products//ProductA2to6Pounds.aspx"

In 6.2.2, the page URLs are like:  "/Products//ProductA(2to6Pounds).aspx"


In other words, 5.6 stripped the parens from the page name before constructing the URL and the parens remain in place in 6.2.2.

This is causing some problems with links, etc.

What is the best way to fix this?  We want to keep the parens in the page names, but we'd like them to disappear from the URLs.

Hi, with the 6.2.2 url rewriting you'll not be able to have parens in the name and not in the URL.

To fix your links and keep search engine indexation, you can :
Create a page named ProductA2to6Pounds, configure it to be not visible in menu and use the permanent redirect function of the page to redirect it to the original one. (now ProductA(2to6Pounds).aspx ).
Like that the old url ProductA2to6Pounds.aspx will redirect to the new one ProductA(2to6Pounds).aspx
