If you have strange characters like, ?q=ek at end of WordPress URLs. You can remove them by using Permalink Redirect WordPress plugin. This plugin fixes all sorts of weird addons to your URL’s by automatically 301 redirecting to the permalink for that post, page, category or tag page.

    What are these? They only just started appearing for me. Do I really have to install a plug-in to weed them out?

    Yes Mark, you have to install plugin to remove these characters or if you can’t do this, we can do this for you for a little fee.

    So what are they?

    Is it because of ‘Add this’ or a similar plugin?

    This is why it was happening for me. It’s a feature in ‘Add This’ and is easily turned off.
