Create site from template losing the links

[jjoy123123]

When I save a site as a template and include content, I have 7 links that should copy over. When I create a new site based on this template, the new site will have 7 links but only 4 actually contain any text. The other 3 are completely blank. The only thing you see beside them are the bullet points.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Hello,

Yes I have had this problem, and it has been when links have contained characters like the comma ,

Did your links that showed up as blank had any characters which is not from (a-z or 0-9) ?

Cheers,

As a matter of fact, it did have commas in it. It actually had 2 in a row, and when you bring up the link to edit it, it only shows 1 of them. Therefore when it tries to create a new site using those links, they are broken and hence, the new links are not created.

It is weird, though. When you first create a link with commas, it will work fine. But if you go back into the link to edit it, SP removes some of the commas so if you save it, it won't work anymore.

Unfortunately I didn't find a way to get around this. The links I am pointing to are static, so I can't change them. Thanks so much for your help!
