Title: Problem with the permalink trailing slashes Last modified: August 21, 2018 --- # Problem with the permalink trailing slashes * Resolved [pabloked](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pabloked/) * (@pabloked) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-the-permalink-trailing-slashes/) * Hi guys, * First, I’m sorry ebcause my english is not very good. * Second, thank you for the plugin. It is the simplest and the best HTML cache plugin I tried. * And last, I’ll try to explain the problem. I think you are using an option inside the file advanced-cache.php file named $settings[“permalink_trailing_slash”] that is not configurable from the settings page. * When you install the plugin from scratch it works perfectly, but if you change something on the settings page, “permalink_trailing_slash” is automatically and hidden set to “true”, and I’m getting problems with some URLs I’m using with and slug like “bla-bla-bla.html”. * Any idea? * Thank you!

Once a setting is changed what sort of error do you experience on pages which don’t end with a trailing slash? * Also what permalink settings do you have defined? * Thread Starter [pabloked](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pabloked/) * (@pabloked) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-the-permalink-trailing-slashes/#post-10611141) * Yes, I’m sorry, I’ll try to explain better. * After make some tests, this is what is happening to me. * 1. Install the plugin from scratch * 2. Everything is caching correctly * 3. Then, in the plugin configuration page, for example, check the option “Pre- compression of cached pages.” * 4. Open any page to create the cache * 5. It is creates the file “cache-enabler-advcache-sitename.settings” under /wp- content/cache/ and the conetent of this file is: * true, 0 => ‘expires’,); * * The setting ‘permalink_trailing_slash’ is the option I don’t know where comes from. * The problem is, I have some URLs with an slash “/” at the end, and other URLs end with “.html” * I hope I’m explaining better. * Thank you again! * Thread Starter [pabloked](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pabloked/) * (@pabloked) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-the-permalink-trailing-slashes/#post-10611176) * I forgot to say, the option permalink_trailing_slash then is used inside advanced- cache.php and returning false because my products and posts have an slug ending with “.html” * [codyarsenault](https://wordpress.org/support/users/codyarsenault/) * (@codyarsenault) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-the-permalink-trailing-slashes/#post-10611283) * Which permalink structure are you using for your site? * Thread Starter [pabloked](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pabloked/) * (@pabloked) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-the-permalink-trailing-slashes/#post-10611412) * This is my website: [https://barbatia.es](https://barbatia.es) * And I’m using for permalinks the pro edition of this plugin: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/permalink-manager/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/permalink-manager/) * Thread Starter [pabloked](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pabloked/) * (@pabloked) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-the-permalink-trailing-slashes/#post-10611416) * But now I have the problem fixed. I have commented the following lines inside“ advanced-cache.php”: * // check if we need drop the ball to cause a redirect /*if ( isset($settings[“ permalink_trailing_slash”]) ) { if ( ! preg_match(“/\/$/”, $_SERVER[“REQUEST_URI”])){ return false; } }*/ * Thread Starter [pabloked](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pabloked/) * (@pabloked) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-the-permalink-trailing-slashes/#post-10611429) * mmmm no, I haven’t fixed it. The file “advanced-cache.php” has any kind of regeneration and replace it with a new one and removes my commenting lines. * Thread Starter [pabloked](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pabloked/) * (@pabloked) * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-the-permalink-trailing-slashes/#post-10611462) * Ok, I fixed it. * I’m using the plugin I told you to manage permalinks and I forgot the options Settings -> Permalinks -> Common settings * And I had configured (but not using it because the permalink manager pro plugin) the post name “[https://barbatia.es/sample-post/”](https://barbatia.es/sample-post/”); with a trailling slash at the end. * I’m sorry for the inconvenience and thank you again for the plugin.
