# MIssing slash, invalid link generated

 * Dear enhanced-tooltipglossary,
 * I use the tool and experience a strange error with webmaster tools.
 * WMT reports a 404 on the links within the glossary term. Ie. I write a glosasary
   term about wordpress. Within the content of the term body I put a link such as
   `
   <a title="WP Organisation" href="http://www.wordpress.org/" target="_blank">www.
   aacsb.edu</a>`
 * In WMT it appears like this: Error 404
    domain.com/glossarywww.wordpress.org 
   a) without a slash between the terms & b) the second term is an external link
   and does not exist on my blog at all.
 * It also appears for the glossary index as well. So the term wordpress generates
   a 404 in WMT like this:
    domain.con/glossarywordpress not found.
 * Either a bug, misconfiguration or interference with WordPress SEO, MIME types
   or???
 * M.

 * Hi,
 * It seems like a problem with the permalink structure. Please check your WordPress
   Permalink settings.
 * Normally the links should look like this:
 * [http://www.example.com/glossary/term-slug](http://www.example.com/glossary/term-slug)

 * So, what to do. My permalink structure has not been changed and works for the
   entire blog?! How can I adjust the missing leading slash in your plugin?
 * Here are even more error with the same background:
    Glossary terms are seen as
   subdirectories in WMT without a slash after the glossary slug such as
 * mba-glossartitelmuehlen/
    404 10.04.15
 * mba-glossardba/
    404 12.04.15
 * mba-glossarstudiengebuehren/
    404 11.04.15 a.s.o.
 * The custom glossary slug is mba-glossar, while titelmuehlen, dba and sstudiengebuehren
   are terms of the glossary.
 * Any update on the issue?

 * Hi,
 * You can add it in the plugin’s settings. In place where you put mba-glossar just
   change add the “/” at the end.

 * Hi,
 * sorry that I didn’t mentioned this before and thanks for your patience with me.
   I tried this trick with the extra slash before, but then I cannot access the 
   glossary items anymore. Even in the edit view of the Glorrary item, the permalink
   structure states:
 * Permalink: [http://www.mba-journal.de/mba-glossar//akkreditierung/](http://www.mba-journal.de/mba-glossar//akkreditierung/)
 * So I had to remove the trailing slash otherwise my entire structure is broken.
 * My current settings are:

 * Any other idea? Again, hier is the overview of Google Webmasters crawling errors.
