Unwanted # is being added to urls

  • I just installed a fresh version of wordpress (4.4.1) on a newly created subdomain. I disabled all plugins and activated the default 2016 theme. All I’ve done is cleaned it out and added some pages and created navigation.

    For some reason, it keeps adding a # to the urls. For example, the url should be: /about-us/, and it is visually, but once it’s clicked on, it tries to go to /#about-us/. Also, I have the permalinks set to post-name.

    It can be seen here: site in question

    Is this something to do with the new 2016 theme, or new version of wordpress? How can I prevent it from doing this?

    Here is my htaccess file’s contents:

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

    # END WordPress

  • Try changing your permalinks and change them back.

    Thank you for the response. I actually figured it out this morning, but couldn’t figure out how to delete my post.

    There was an htaccess file one level up (since it’s a subdomain on a godaddy server) that was causing it. I just made the redirects more specific and now it works fine.
