Pathauto showing special characters in URL
Special characters showing up in your Drupal URL's?
Are you saving a page, for example "What's New" and having it show up as example.com/what039s-new? This is a common problem with Drupal's pathauto module that is caused by the processing of special characters via Drupal's token module (newer pathauto releases require token module to work).
Solution to remove special characters from URL
As of the time of this writing, the solution to get your URL's to display correctly again involves:
- Downloading, installing, and enabling the latest pathauto and token modules (be sure to run update.php after updating)
- In pathauto settings, replace "title" with "title-raw," "catpath" with "catpath-raw," and so forth.
Older versions of pathauto were fixed with a patch. The above solution should be in place while we wait for a newer pathauto/ token release that resolves this issue.

Thanks!
I guess I need to learn to update Drupal more regularly
Thanks for this - the screwed up pathauto paths were driving me bananas!!
Pathauto raw paths?
Drupal's pathauto module is great and has saved me a lot of work as far as having to manually generate SEF (Search Engine Friendly) URL's, but what is up with their implementation? Why are we forced to use raw output (ie. adding -raw to the end of a path on the pathauto configuration page), and if we don't we get an error?
Nevertheless, props to the creators, as I'd be up *** creek without this module.
