.htaccess on wordpress multisites

[imsmlouis]

Hi Moz fans,

I have a site thats uses wordpress multisite.

we have a number of sites set as subfolders i.e /en/    /de/    /us/   /fr/   ect.

I need to force trailing slashes on each site as I currently have the pages being spidered as /about/ and /about   and /iso-9001/ and /iso-9001.

I have tried numerous things I have found online in the .htaccess and nothing is working.

Can anyone HELP!!

Hi,

Can you check your permalink setting.

Login to wordpress- > Settings > Permalinks

Permalinks help available here:  http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks

I am using a custom structure which is

/%category%/%postname%/

In network admin and site path is also /en/

Thats why I need to use .htaccess to process the URL on the fly and add a trailing slash if not there

[SanketPatel]

Can you please show me your .httaccess code ?

[imsmlouis]

The current htaccess is

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

[imsmlouis]

one suggestion i found was

<code>RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !example.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/ [L,R=301]</code>

But alas its not working

Thanks for sharing httaccess code....

I have search for your problem and finally I found "Permalink Trailing Slash Fixer" Wordpress plugin( 5 star rating). Please try installing it.

Hope this will solve your problem....

unfortunately this has not solved the problem as my permalinks already contain the trailing slash.

I really think it needs to be code in the htaccess file to add the trailing slash if a non trailing slash url is presented.

Hi

Try adding this to your .htaccess

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteRule ^(.*)([^/])$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1$2/ [L,R=301]

Hi Matt

Thank you for this, should i put it as below

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)([^/])$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1$2/ [L,R=301]

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

[Matt-Williamson]

Try the following

BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)([^/])$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1$2/ [L,R=301]

RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

END WordPress

If that doesn't work strip it right back save your original htaccess and try just this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)([^/])$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1$2/ [L,R=301]

If that doesn't work your mod_rewrite module might not be working check server config..
