Could it be that the CMS cannot handle umlauts? I have posted my MD files in the folder, but I cannot edit everything that has umlauts. ---

Aber ich kann die MD Dateien nicht ändern die in Post sind da zeigt er dann eine Fehler. Also wenn ich über den Editor gehe ![IMG_9925](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/6/0/600aee5bfd5b8af0734c181327cca43a6b4163b0.jpeg) ![IMG_9926](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/c/7/c7db1e09a4bbf9a479454a00d2d27221af93ec47.jpeg) ![IMG_9927](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/0/5/05905ef49a3884ceae2384880b2d4e736ed0c4c0.jpeg) ---

MIKE, wie oft noch!? Dann stelle deine Frage doch bitte so genau wie möglich und untermauere sie mit Screenshots oder sonstigen handfesten Dingen. Wie soll man dir denn sonst helfen? Wir sehen nicht das, was du siehst … Ich helfe ja gerne, aber das mit dir ist echt anstrengend. Sorry. ---

Jetzt habe ich die Umlaute geändert.

Das sollte in der Elements-Dokumentation und hier im Forum aber bereits behandelt worden sein. Ä, Ü, Ö, ß und so weiter haben nichts in einer URL oder einem Slug zu suchen und sollten entsprechend angepasst werden. Das gilt grundsätzlich nicht nur für Elements, sondern auch für WordPress und so weiter. ---

Auch niemals Umlaute in Dateinamen. Das führt immer (!) zu Problemen. Ausnahme: Wenn du Dateien mit Umlauten unter MacOS nutzt ist das ok, da MacOS die intern umwandelt, du das aber nicht siehst.
