    Hi JW, are you saying that in some sites you see something like http://www.yoursite.com/secretword? with the question mark at the end?

    No like this http://www.site.com/?secretword and on others I install the same security plug in and put in the secret word and the url is /secretword with no ? …..what determine whether the ? is part of the URL ? Sorry I was so long in replying but this form sent me no email that you replied.

    Hi the secret word that you add to the sites that also add ?, do they have any unusual characters?

    freestone,
    Check the permalink settings of the sites with the “?”.
    I bet you do not have permalinks enabled for those cases.

    Thanks for getting back to me. Dont know why this forum is not sending me emails of your posts. I always set permalinks to Post Name for ever site. I just removed the plugin via ftp and reset the htaccess file and reinstall the plugin and now the ? is gone. Only thing I can figure is that the ? is a hold over from either 1. originally setting up the cookies brute force (which I did no some site but is simply has to many issue and my customers were constantly calling because they could not get on the site) or 2. A hold over from an earlier version of the plugin and the install updates the database to not require the ?

    @freestone, it looks like your issue is resolved now. If that is correct can you mark this support thread as resolved.

    Thank you
