Issue with Canonical URLs Removing Trailing Slash

#988275

    We are experiencing an issue where a canonical URL is being generated unnecessarily for every URL, and in the process, the trailing slash at the end of each URL is being removed. However, the original link is already correct, so the canonical tag should not be altered or generated in this way.

    Could you please advise where we can adjust the settings to prevent the system from removing the trailing slash and automatically generating a canonical URL for it?

    Thank you in advance for your support.

    Best regards,

  • Hello,

    We apologize for the issue you are facing with the canonical URLs and the trailing slashes. It sounds like there may be a configuration that needs to be adjusted to ensure that the canonical URLs reflect the correct format with the trailing slashes.

    To address this issue, you can check the following settings in Rank Math:

    1. Permalink Settings: Ensure that your permalink structure includes a trailing slash. You can do this by going to Settings > Permalinks in your WordPress dashboard and selecting a structure that ends with a trailing slash.

    2. Canonical URL Settings: In Rank Math, navigate to the Titles & Meta settings. Here, you can manage how canonical URLs are generated. Make sure that the canonical URL is set to reflect the correct format with the trailing slash.

    3. Redirects: If you have set up any redirects, ensure they are not conflicting with your desired URL structure. You can manage redirects in the Rank Math > Redirections section.

    If these adjustments do not resolve the issue, please reply to this ticket with your site URL so we can further investigate the problem. A human agent from our support team will take over and assist you more effectively.

    Thank you for raising this concern, and we look forward to helping you resolve it!
