删除Wordpress博客URL中的结尾斜杠

Question

I decided to use wordpress to power my blog section. I created a folder under my root directory of my site titled blog. Now when I visit http://trekeffect.dev/blog I get redirected to http://trekeffect.dev/blog/ with the trailing slash. How can I remove the trailing slash?

.htaccess inside blog folder is

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

.htaccess i am using in my project rrot folder is

RewriteRule ^blog/$ /blog [R=301]

Any help will be really appreciable. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Mod_dir will automatically redirect any request for a directory that doesn't end with a trailing slash. This is because there's a security loophole that allows anyone to see the contents of a directory by leaving the trailing slash off . You can, of course, turn off this feature, but then you'd need to ensure you prevent this from happening by yourself. So something like this in your vhost config:

DirectorySlash Off

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.*[^/])$ /$1/ [L]

Not sure if this will work in an htaccess file because when someone goes to " /blog ", they're already bypassing any rules in your document root and the slash/noslash issue can't be dealt with by then.

Answer 2

Some browsers add a trailing slash because of recent history, clear you history and try again. You could also try in a different browser.

However, it must be said that keeping the trailing slash would be your best bet for SEO/UX, as including the trailing slash improves page load time, which is a factor in SE rankings and in positive user experience.
