# GET variables causing problems

 * I’m using aweber to get subscriptions, and when it returns to a thank you page
   on my blog, it throws an error.
 * [http://www.abc.com/resources/newsletter/thanks?custom%20address%201=](http://www.abc.com/resources/newsletter/thanks?custom%20address%201=)(
   snipped) throws a 404 page, but
 * [http://www.abc.com/resources/newsletter/thanks](http://www.abc.com/resources/newsletter/thanks)
   works.
 * Is there any way to get WordPress to ignore the GET variables? Or is my .htaccess
   file the problem?
 * > # BEGIN WordPress
   >  <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / 
   > RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule./
   > index.php [L] </IfModule>
   > # END WordPress
 * Thanks!

 * Hi Burtonkent,
 * I think you’ve might have the same problem as me:-

 * The 404 is caused for me by the &name variable passed on by aweber to the query
   string in the url.
 * If you remove it the 404 should go. Though obviously if you want to use the name
   that’s not a solution.
 * Cheers…Graham
