The key difference is the trailing slash (/) at the end. From a web server’s perspective, https://mydomain.com refers to a domain without a path, and https://mydomain.com/ indicates the root directory of that domain.
The Google error likely happens because your site might be accessible through both versions, creating duplicate content. Additionally, one version might be redirecting to the other, but the redirect isn’t properly configured, or your internal links might be inconsistent.
To resolve this, set up a 301 redirect from one version to the other, and make sure your internal linking structure uses your chosen format.
For WordPress, since you mentioned permalinks, check your .htaccess file to ensure the redirects are properly set.
Lina,
Do you know where I can get the default permalink settings?

You can find the settings for the permalinks here: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/documentation/article/settings-permalinks-screen/
However, I would still like to know what kind of errors are displayed? That would be crucial to give you the right tips.
I talked to my host provider about permalinks and he told me how to reset them. I thank you for helping me.
