the problem is that the trailing slash of the permalink is giving me an extar trailing slash that is breaking my link . 

http://www.mysite.com/category/year/post-name/?output=something..

I know that I can construct the structure in another way , but I want to use the permalink (much easier) and i do not want to change the permalink structure sitewide …

any way of getting rid of the trailing slash ??

  1. You can use the trim command to do this, specifically, the rtrim to remove the character from the right side:

    $url = rtrim(get_permalink(),'/');

    Using a blanket substr -1 technique would cause problems if there isn’t a trailing slash in the permalink. Also, the function the_permalink echoes the link, and get_permalink returns it as a string.

  4. We can add the following code in .httaccess file.

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ /$1 [R=301,L]

</IfModule>

    Don’t forgot to select the custom link from backend and remove the trailing slash from postname.
