• I’m desperately trying to figure this out. I know it has something to do with the theme and its AJAX use. (or so at least I think!)

    I’m adding a custom link to menus, but everytime it’s clicked WP adds the #!… For example mydomain.com/#!/example

    I just want it to ignore adding that #! for this link/url. Is there anyway to bypass this? I’ve done some searching and can’t find a solution.

    To test it yourself: http://mediabear.ca/decoy/ and please click the “Forums” link.

  • Yes, the #! (hashbang) does has something to do with the theme and its AJAX. The hashbang was developed by Google so their spiders could crawl Ajax content, and not without some controversy (the article Breaking the Web with hash-bangs comes to mind)…or at least some contention. It’s more than likely being generated and added in a javascript file in your theme and you’d have to find the source and modify that. That said, it’s certainly being used often.
