Hey All,

Was wondering if anyone could help as I’m running out of ideas to try. I’ve a live site running on EE 2.5.2 with php 5+ i’ve noticed for a while that links (when clicked on) seem to have miscelllaneous characters appended to them once visited.  They will look end up looking this ‘http://www.somelinkhere.com/pagename#.UENduULjKuo’

Has anyone else encountered this? I’m being asked to rectify this asap so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I thought at first it would be something to do with the .htaccess file but it all looks ok.

The .htaccess file has this in it:

RewriteEngine On

DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteCond $1 !\.(gif|jpe?g|png)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

AddHandler php5-script .php

This has now been resolved.

Thanks for updating us, Daniel.  I don’t suppose you’d share what was going on in case it comes up again?  That particular pattern is not one I recognize.

Thanks!

Hiya,

Yes it turns out it wasn’t EE related. (my mistake) It was to do with AddThis social script which appends the URL for 1 of their tracking features. Kind of annoying.

Daniel -

Thank you so much for coming back and sharing that.  I know a few people use AddThis so definitely potentially a help in troubleshooting future support questions with this issue.

Thank you again and if anything else comes up, please do let us know so that we can help out!
