I've got this url:

website/con?blog=true

What I do in javascript is:

if (getURLparams(blog)) {
   RandomFunction();
   // change the url
   window.history.replaceState({}, '?blog=true', "blog=false");
}

However, I do not want to use blog=false, in fact I want empty string there. I tried ""/'' but they didn't work. Any idea or alternative? Thanks

• jquery

• 1 The third parameter in replaceState is optional so you can not set it at all – Krusader Commented Oct 18, 2017 at 8:46

You can set it to location.pathname:

window.history.replaceState({}, '', location.pathname);

This will remove the URL params.

You can use a relative path:

window.history.replaceState({}, '', './');

You can try.. Emptying the last parameter of function replaceState. Like this.

window.history.replaceState({}, '?blog=true', "");

or

window.history.replaceState({}, '?blog=true');
