Hi,

I'm using the latest CMSB and Permalinks plugin and would like to know if there is a way to enforce a "No-trailing Slash" option to prevent duplicate URLs for SEO purposes.

For example, the page below is accessible 2 ways using the standard .htaccess that is installed with the Permalinks plugin.

1) http://www.domain.com/page/

and

2) http://www.domain.com/page

I'm looking for a way that the first example is redirected to second example in all requests.

thanks,

Tim

Thanks Tim, 

We'll look into this.  

So to be clear, what the plugin does by default is currently to generate links with trailing slashes, but you want no trailing slashes.  And, you want any other URLs that aren't the officially generated one to redirect to the officially generated URL.  Is that right?

And would it work if it did that but WITH trailing slashes, or do you have as a requirement no trailing slashes? 

Let me know, thanks!
