Hello,
I’m sorry to hear about the issue you are facing with URLs automatically adding a slash at the end and causing redirection problems in your webmaster tools. This issue can lead to duplicate content problems and affect your website’s SEO performance.
Based on the information you provided, it seems like your website is facing a trailing slash issue. When URLs are accessed without a trailing slash, they are automatically redirected to URLs with a trailing slash or vice versa. This can create confusion for search engines and users, leading to duplicate content concerns.
To fix this issue, you can follow these steps:
-
Check Permalink Settings: Ensure that your WordPress permalink settings are correctly configured to include or exclude trailing slashes. You can access this setting in your WordPress dashboard under Settings > Permalinks.
-
Using Rank Math: If you are using Rank Math SEO plugin, you can set up redirections to URLs with trailing slashes. You can refer to this guide on how to redirect to URLs with trailing slashes for detailed instructions.

Why Are Posts Redirecting to www or Non-www Incorrectly?
Hello,
Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
We checked the URL you’ve shared and we can it is getting redirected by WordPress, not by our plugin. Please check the screenshot in the sensitive data section for reference.
However, you can use the URL inspection tool of your GSC account to check the URL and view the referring page to make sure from where it is coming.
Once you know the referring page, you can unlink or remove it so Google won’t discover it again.
Hope that helps and please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions.
Â
Thank you.
