I’m looking for a way to remove trailing slash for all WordPress URL’s.

I found similar answers like this one but it doesn’t work when there’s WordPress .htaccess rules before.

Here is my current WordPress .htaccess: 

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

# END WordPress

  2. Here are the steps to remove trailing slashes site-wide. If you simply wish to remove the trailing slashes on posts only, skip to Step 2.

    Important Things To Consider

    • In .htaccess, the code between lines # BEGIN WordPress & # END WordPress may get reset by WordPress. Avoid changing code between those lines.
    • Forcing removal of trailing slashes, causes a loop in example.com/wp-admin. You can avoid the issue by excluding directories RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d.

    The following solution addresses those issues.

    Step 1 – Update /.htaccess file

    Add the following code before the # BEGIN WordPress line in your /.htaccess file. This redirects URLs with trailing slashes to URLs with no trailing slashes.

    # Remove trailing slashes
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

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

</IfModule>

    Step 2 – Update Permalinks

    As others have pointed out, you must also update your Permalinks (Settings -> Permalinks) to Custom Structure, and remove the trailing slash there. It removes the trailing slash on all your posts.

  3. Try this:

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]

    RewriteRule (.+)/$ $1 [R=301,L]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

    If it doesn’t work try this one:

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]

    RewriteRule (.+)/$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

  4. To solve this trailing slash in WordPress URL problem, log in to your website admin panel -> go to Setting Tab -> click on Permalinks under Settings. It will open a page something like the below screen:

    Now, check to verify the setting you have opted for the website URL structure. Make sure that you are not leaving a trailing slash in the URL structure.
