Fix for issue #209: CC plugin admin fails to load with PHP 8 #210

Fixes

Fixes #209 by @xolotl

Description

Escapes percent character to avoid fatal error in PHP 8. Also removes unnecessary space in same line of code.

Technical details

Apparently the unescaped percent sign in line 927 was not a fatal error in PHP 7, but is in PHP 8. This screenshot shows how the output was generated, but was incorrect in PHP 7 (no percent sign):

Settings_Admin_‹_Nate_Angell_—_WordPress

This screenshot shows how the output is generated correctly with the fix in both PHP 7 and 8 (with a percent sign):

Settings_Admin_‹_Nate_Angell_—_WordPress

Tests

See issue reproduction details in #209.
