Body: <p>When I create a new contribution page and use the <code>links</code> sub-menu to go to the live location of the page, it redirects to </p>
  
  <p><a href="https://my.site.org/civicrm?page=CiviCRM&amp;q=civicrm/contribute/transact&amp;reset=1&amp;id=1" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://my.site.org/civicrm?page=CiviCRM&amp;q=civicrm/contribute/transact&amp;reset=1&amp;id=1</a></p>
  
  <p>This link doesn't work however. I can manually fix the url by removing the "civicrm" part, like this:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://my.site.org/?page=CiviCRM&amp;q=civicrm/contribute/transact&amp;reset=1&amp;id=1" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://my.site.org/?page=CiviCRM&amp;q=civicrm/contribute/transact&amp;reset=1&amp;id=1</a></p>
  
  <p>My question is: where does this "civicrm" bit before the question mark come from? What kind of configuration error could cause this problem? I already checked the BASEURL setting, it seems correct (the value is <a href="https://my.site.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://my.site.org/</a>)</p>

  This is the WordPress "base page" setting. It's at **Administer menu » System Settings » CMS Database Integration**.
  
  That said - I think the way base pages are working in WordPress is slowly being improved over the last couple of versions. Please let us know what version of CiviCRM you're running; it may be that this is fixed with an upgrade.
