Blocked words in URL

[ppcole]

Hello,

I am getting the following message when adding a URL that contains the words federal-black to an Event.

An error occurred: Sorry, you can’t post the word ‘federal-black’; it’s not allowed.

I checked Watched Words and these words are not listed. Where is this error coming from?

Regards

Did you try the test function, does that report a match?

[ppcole]

Thanks for responding Moin, I did and no matches are found.

hmmm yea you should be able to use that string in a URL, something else is interfering. I just succesfully created a new post with it that also created an event in my test calendar.

Does it work to post the term in a normal post (without an event) or is that blocked as well?

[ppcole]

Ok, but what could be interfering? I only know about Watched Words functionality

Words (URL) are blocked in a regular post also. Weird one.

@ppcole

Sorry, you can’t post the word

that specific text only displays for watched words. so double check that it’s not being used in any of the sections:

Resolved. I had a watched word of f*ck and that matched Federal-black because of the middle asterix. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Interesting that the Watched Word Test didn’t catch the match.
