cannot load plugin

[mrwizard]

---> Using WP v2.2.1 the newest build as of 7/20/2007

Some plugins use wp-admin/options.php to update their parameter settings.

Paths to the plugin folder get changed via a urlencode function in this file. So a plugin options file located at...

wp-content/pluginName/plugin-options.php

gets changed to...

wp-content/pluginName2Fplugin-options.php

and the admin.php file errors this out with a message...

CANNOT LOAD pluginName2Fplugin-options.php

The problem is in the wp-admin/options.php file around about line 112.

$goback = preg_replace('|[^{a-z0-9-~+_.?#=&;,/:]|i', , $goback);}

needs to be changed to...

$goback = preg_replace('|[^{a-z0-9-~+_.?#=&;,/:%]|i', , $goback);}

(note the addition of the % symbol)

This change keeps the %2F in the path instead of just 2F.

Perhaps there's another way.... but this worked for me. If you guys know a better way, please let me know.

Patch based on given code snippet attached.

wp_redirect already does the sanitiation. I think that goback sanitization line can be removed.
