I am using Wordpress for a "news" section on a e-commerce site. So the root of the wordpress install is in a sub-folder.

www.mysite.com/news

I have setup the home & site URL to reflect this in the admin. I also make sure there are no trailing slashes in the permalinks. However, it keeps doing a 301 redirect and forcing a trailing slash so it looks like:

www.mysite.com/news/

I even tried to force it in the wp-config.php file, defining the WP_HOME and WP_SITEURL parameters. I cannot for the life of me figure out where this is happening. I don't mind creating a small PHP function to rewrite this url (without any kind of redirect).

Ideas?

  • So far, it looks like that trailing slash can only be removed doing a redirect.

  • Check out Settings > Permalinks and make sure there is no trailing slash on the option chosen. You may have to choose the custom structure option and then copy the structure you want, without the trailing slash of course.
