# in address bar after web page

Why does wordpress add the # after my address.

It doesn’t by default. Try resetting your custom permalinks back to the default setting via Settings -> Permalinks. If this works, then review Using_Permalinks before setting a custom permalink structure back up again.

Changed it back to default.
Did not work.
This has been driving me crazy as I’ve had to change all my links in Infusiosoft as they all do not work in Explorer a lot of the time.

Have you tried:

– deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

– switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

– resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

https://drscottdorrity.com/wordpress/ is a brand new site I just started working on today.
I installed the optomizepress theme and have 5-6 other themes running on all the other sites.
This showed up on them all at the same time.
This has to be something on the wordpress side.
I can’t go through all that work to rebuild all the sites.
I’m starting a site from scratch to see if I can track it that way.
This should not be happening in the first place.

As this appears to be specific to your sites, it will be caused by a plugin, theme or other site-specific setting. It’s certainly nothing to do with WordPress core itself.

It’s not the themes have them all installed on the test site.
Will start adding the plugins I normally use and see if any of those cause it to appear.

Ok, I disabled or deleted all my plugins on the existing drscottdorrity.com/wordpress site and the # is still there.
I started the new site drscottdorrity.com/wordpresstest and installed all the same plugins and then disable or deleted all of them.
The # sign is not present on the test site but is still on the original site.
This is so frustrating and I can’t belive that no one else in the world has had this problem.

drscottdorrity.com/wordpress is not using the default Twenty Eleven theme and appears to be running quite a few plugins.

Perhaps at your hosting panel, it was setup to redirect to a URL with a hash.

Do also check inside the .htaccess file located in your wordpress folder.

All the plugins are gone and all the themes except the OptomizePress one is gone. It’s not the theme as I have installed it on the test site and it did not cause the # to appear.
Here is the login info for the site. See if you can figur it out from there.
I have to get this solved.
Thanks for all the help!

So what do I need to use to open the .htaccess file?
I found it but don’t have the software to open it.
My host is Bluehost and if it was the problem then there would be no reason why the drscottdorrity.com/wordpresstest site would not have the # sign. If that was the source wouldn’t it also have the # sign at the end? I didn’t redirect any of these URLs.

Here is what I found in the htaccess file in wordpad

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wordpress/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wordpress/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

the htaccess file in drscottdorrity.com/wordpress and wordpresstest are exactally the same from what I can see.

I’ve had enough frustration for the day.
Thank you for all your help.
I have to go to the gym and work some of this off.
I’ll be back at it tonight.
I’m about to the point to say fu%$#@#Q% it and just live with it.

There’s a bunch of javascript errors for .com/wordpress/ while .com/wordpresstest/ does not have it.

Resource interpreted as Script but transferred with MIME type text/plain: “https://wlns.infusionsoft.com/app/form/iframe/997dd5a0ad3e080c282128ce3cf40e9e&#8221;. drscottdorrity.com:230

Seems that Optimize Press is causing the issue somewhere. Their javascript uses hashes in forming URL at several places in their code.

Since you did not redirect at your hosting panel, I can only think of the javascript performing the redirect after having a look at the network request.

You will get better support if you contact the Optimize Press developer.
