# When using URL Variable, the page breaks

 * I have added a URL Variable to my page to try to capture data from another page.
   The page looks something like this [http://myurl.com/morinformation/?plan=myplan](http://myurl.com/morinformation/?plan=myplan).
   When doing this, I get an error on the page that the page doesn’t exist. When
   I remove the variable, it works fine. The variables work fine on pages that do
   not use contact-form-7 so I know it has something to do with the form. Any ideas?

 * I’m having the exact same problem. The plugin seems to describe a URL format 
   that you can’t actually choose in wordpress. For example, normal shortcode link
   might be:
    [http://site.com/?page-id=1234](http://site.com/?page-id=1234) Adding
   a parameter like [http://site.com/?page-id=1234&value=test](http://site.com/?page-id=1234&value=test)
   breaks the link. Likewise changing the permalink structure ie [http://site.com/page/](http://site.com/page/)
   And adding the parameter as [http://site.com/page/?value=test](http://site.com/page/?value=test)
   also breaks in just the same way.
 * Documentation suggests URLs like [http://site.com/page?value=test](http://site.com/page?value=test)
   which is just not possible.
 * Sadly not holding out much hope for a solution as it seems to be scarcely attended
   to 🙁
