I have a couple node names which have spaces in them. By default, the URLs are in this format: site.com/node/node-with-spaces. Is there a way to change the default space replacement character with an underscore instead of a hyphen? The result should be site.com/node/node_with_spaces.

Thanks!

Yep, you can. And it's quite easy.

Just go to /config folder, locate umbracoSettings.config in there and look for <urlReplacing> section.

Replace <char org=" ">-</char> by <char org=" ">_</char>

Make sure to republish the site so that the url's are being recalculated.

Any particular reason why you'd want to change this?

Good luck,

Thanks! That worked great.

I'm changing it because I'm matching the URLs to an existing site URL scheme so I don't have to worry with redirects.
