Breadcrumbs appending '%%CLICK_URL_ESC%%[%Click_Tracker%]' to the string?

Hi there, I am getting a strange error here on my site mykidstime.com when I click on the breadcrumb links of my site.

For example when you are viewing this article here: https://www.mykidstime.com/things-to-do/easy-eyecatching-leaf-craft-ideas-kids/ and then if you click on the breadcrumb links like so: http://recordit.co/bnk5v8Wfha

You basically get a 400 bad request error. The issue seems to be caused because the links defined in the ‘breadcrumb’ menu are not a valid GET requests and the web-server declines them:
Code:
https://www.mykidstime.com/things-to-do/easy-eyecatching-leaf-craft-ideas-kids/%%CLICK_URL_ESC%%%5B%Click_Tracker%%5D

If I remove the ‘%%CLICK_URL_ESC%%[%Click_Tracker%]’ string from the link, it is working as intended:
https://www.mykidstime.com/things-to-do/easy-eyecatching-leaf-craft-ideas-kids/

Any ideas of why this is and how to make sure they work corectly? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
James

Likely disable whatever tracking plugin you’re using – or adjust its settings ?

@chris thanks for the prompt reply. So what I did was make a backup of the entire site here and then deactivate all plugins on the site so that the only thing running is the theme itself and still an error here: http://www.jamjosandbox.com/news/featured/simple-form-creation-and-storage-built-for-developers/ if you click on the breadcrumb.

So I am a little stumped on this one as no plugin is running and still I get this bad request error that opens a new tab when I click on the breadcrumb.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Hi,

Please try to re-save permalinks or if you have aback-up try to reinstall the theme. See if the error is still there. If it is, please contact us via email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide a link to your site, wp-admin and ftp access so we can login and investigate.

Thank you!

@Bogdan B. I have tried resaving the permalinks without any luck. I have now sent you on the FTP access via that email address you provided.

Thanks in advance

Did you check to see if site hacked?

Did you check F12/console for errors ?

Your page has a *ton* of errors being generated.

Best to disable *all* your ad settings entirely, check all your theme boxes for ads, widgets, footer text, etc., ASAP.
