In this blog, I will demonstrate how to overcome Yammer URL encoding issues in the webpart title. I have added a content editor webpart to embed a Yammer group feed and it works fine.
Further, we have configured webpart title URL to point to that Yammer group, so that the users can open group conversations in full window. Group link is copied from the address bar of that specific yammer group, as shown below.

Surprisingly, after saving the page webpart, title link didn’t work. After having a close look, I noticed ‘#’ is replaced with ‘%23’.

Here are some approaches to fix the issue.
URL Formatting
Format yammer group URL as below.
https://www.yammer.com/{network permalink}/groups/{feedId}
Original URL
https://www.yammer.com/company.com/#/threads/inGroup?type=in_group&feedId=12668139&view=all
Formatted URL
https://www.yammer.com/company.com/groups/12668139
Simply Add ‘?’ before ‘#’ (you will like this :) )
