# WordPress stripping query params?

 * When I link to a page on my WordPress site with added parameters (i.e. [http://www.mysite.com/pageone?number=5&color=green](http://www.mysite.com/pageone?number=5&color=green))
   it immediately strips the parameters (i.e. [http://www.mysite.com/pageone](http://www.mysite.com/pageone)).
   I’m sure this is a setting somewhere in the site or on the server that’s causing
   it to remove any queries, but I’m not sure how to troubelshoot. Suggestions?

 * A little more info about your site would be really helpful.

 * Hi Matt 🙂 It’s actually not my site, so I don’t have much more info. I’m providing
   code to a third-party who is trying to put it into his WP site, which is [http://www.directrecruiters.com/for-candidates/view-opportunities](http://www.directrecruiters.com/for-candidates/view-opportunities).
   I should be able to pass a query string through to that iframe on the page (we
   do this on other sites), but his WP is dumping anything that’s tacked onto the
   URL. I wasn’t sure what to tell him to look for, and he’s not particularly WP-
   savvy.

 * Are you able to replicate the issue with ALL plugins deactivated; and switched
   to the default 2015 theme?

 * I’m not actually able to get into his site myself, but I can suggest that as 
   a step for him. I just didn’t know if there was anything in the permalinks or
   other base-level WP stuff that might cause an issue like this before I tell him
   to start shutting off plugins.

 * Gotcha.
 * I’m not sure how WordPress handles query parameters from links within the editor.
   But, I would think they would pass along fine.
 * By disabling all plugins and switching to the default 2015 theme; we can rule
   out the possibility of a plugin or theme setting causing the issue.
 * If it works fine with all defaults; then you can switch back to the theme and
   try again. If it works; continue to the plugins. If it does not, you know it’s
   the theme.
