I have a Projects page where I use query strings to deep-link to different categories using JavaScript. For example if my URL is www.mysite.com/projects/?theme=blue then I read this query string in JavaScript and load the results using Ajax. I'm only reading the query string in JavaScript, not PHP/WordPress.

The problem is one of my query parameters is named theme, but I also have a custom post type named theme. It's giving me a 404 error any time I have theme in the URL. On just the Projects page, is it possible to tell WordPress not to process any query string variables?

  • The usual way to pass parameters with JavaScript is the # symbol, not a query string. Commented Oct 24, 2019 at 11:48
  • I wanted the URLs to be indexable by search engines as well. As far as I know Google doesn't usually index anchor links in URLs. Commented Oct 24, 2019 at 15:37

Sorry for answering my own question, but I figured it out.

When calling the register_post_type function, the arguments array should set the 'query_var' property to false.
