Hi. I'm not 100% certain of this, but I think you can configure this in one of Umbraco's configuration files. It's called umbracoSettings.config and is in the /config/ folder.
Do note, however, that a "+" symbol in a URL is often shorthand for a space, so may end up getting encoded strangely and cause issues (which is why Umbraco doesn't allow them in the first place).
Every Umbraco installation will have a /config/ folder with lots of .config files in there. They are required for Umbraco to work. However, you can only access them on the server where Umbraco is installed - you can't view or edit them directly through the CMS. So you'll need access to where the files for Umbraco are actually installed (usually a server where the website lives).
How to add a + symbol in the url (Umbraco version 7.2.1)
Hi all,
I have no experience with Umbraco what so ever so I'm compelled to seek help here.
My problem is very simpel, I think: I have an URL in which I have to put in a plus symbol.
E.g. I want my URL to be http://nameofwebsite.dk/da/energy+/
However, it automatically changes to http://nameofwebsite.dk/da/energyplus/ when I save and publish the page.
As you can see in my attached screenshot, I don't work in codes. I neither know JavaScript or c#.
I really hope it is possible to solve this problem.
I look forward to any help I might get.
Thank you very much in advance.
Best,
Dario

and is in the/config/
folder.Look for a section called RequestHandler - see https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/Reference/Config/umbracoSettings/#requesthandler
Within there you can add the following section (if it's not there) or modify it (if it's already there), which tells Umbraco how to replace chars:
You can see the entry you want to change is:

HI Dan,
I can't even find the /config folder. Is it nessesary to install some kind of html builder? I saw some videos on Umbraco inwhich they used Webmatrix.
But thank you kindly for the reply - I appreciate it.
