Hi,

I'm having a hard time adding a link to my Google+ page to my SmugMug site.
I have a custom Google URL for my company Google+ page which is google.com/+GüntherVansteelantPhotography (see screenshot attached) but SmugMug doesn't allow me to add this URL to the social Google icon with the message that I should use a valid Google URL.

Is it the Umlaut in my name giving trouble? You'd expect a system in 2015 to support unicode.
Any solutions?

    Just found out I have the same problem with the link to my LinkedIn profile page.

    Solved
    Ok, I solved the problem myself. Just replacing the "ü" with "u" in the URL solved the problem and luckily the link also works.
