: URL is generating a /#!/splash-page My site for some reason is generating a shebang - /#!/splash-page on the URL. For example when I type www.modernvintage1005.com, the browser returns www.modernvintage1005.com/#!/splash-page
My site for some reason is generating a shebang - /#!/splash-page on the URL. For example when I type modernvintage1005.com, the browser returns modernvintage1005.com/#!/splash-page and every subsequent page is /#!/about, /#!/contact, and so forth.
There's absolutely nothing on the Google about this. There is a lot of rewrite help to eliminate .index.php from the home page, but that's it.
How do I rewrite it to just say domain.com and domain.com/about.html, etc.?
Here is my .htaccess file if you need to see it.
# Rewrite Rule
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

The "hashbang" or "shebang" url syntax is an old hack designed to provide browser history to AJAX sites and to help Google index content that is loaded via JavaScript. See "What's the shebang/hashbang (#!) in Facebook and new Twitter URLs for?" for more.
Your WordPress theme, "John Smith", is responsible for rewriting URLs in this way. It does this so that it can load each page using JavaScript without a full page refresh and still make the content accessible to Google's crawlers. (This is what the "AJAX" in the "AJAX Portfolio Theme" refers to.) It is nothing to do with your .htaccess file.
A lot of webmasters now feel that using the hashbang URL syntax is a bad idea for the reasons stayed here – it is not very future-proof, and there are now better options available. (i.e. "pushState", an HTML5 feature that allows developers to modify the browser URL without refreshing the page.)
Your options are to:
Contact the theme developer and ask them if there is an option to turn off the AJAX functionality in their theme to remove the hashbang URLs.
Contact the theme developer and ask them to consider modifying the theme to use pushState instead of location.hash. (Refer them to this article.) This would give you URLs with no hashbang, which sounds like what you want.
Use a different WordPress theme.
