Weird Hash Tag on product page

Hi, I am getting a weird hashtag value at the end of each product page using MarketPress.

I am pretty sure it wasn’t doing this before but I am not sure what’s causing it.

Here is an example: http://arts.envigordesign.com/shop/products/police-box-ring#.UCqwUT1lS1w

What is the “#.UCqwUT1lS1w” for?

    Greetings andy_mazur,

    Thank you for this great question and bringing this significant issue to our attention.

    This is truly bizarre and I have no idea where it is coming from nor can I replicate it on my test production server.

    Therefore I think it is time to go into full blown trouble shooting mode because it appears there may be some conflict here and one way to find out conclusively.

    Standard plugin trouble shooting protocol – first to switch to the Twenty Eleven theme just long enough to check for the problem – if the problem still exists next involves deactivating all plugins except the plugin in question and then see if the issue still exists.

    If it does not, then you want to activate plugins one at a time testing in between to see if the issue returns. Even when you find one plugin, it may be in your interest to deactivate the problem plugin and continue testing the rest of the plugins to insure no others are also conflicting.

    You will know the conflict when the issue returns and which plugin(s) you activated that cause the issue.

    Please advise if there are any plugin conflicts and if so what the plugins are that are conflicting.

    Cheers, Joe

    Thanks for the help. It turns out it was the “AddThis” sharing tool I added to the default marketpress.php file.

    This tool enables URL tracking turned on by default. Which enables analytics if someone copies and then clicks on the url instead of collecting data through the share tool.

    I turned off URL tracking and now everything is good to go.
