Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Tom,

thanks for your reply.

i have some problems

the above code doesn't

1 - Add trailing slash to the static webpages / Re-direct 301 from non-trailing slash

so it should be http://ghadaalsaman.com/articles/ instead of http://ghadaalsaman.com/articles

2 - Force trailing slash to the Wordpress Webpages / Re-direct 301 from non-trailing slash

i've to give some information about my website Environment

1. i have static webpage in the root.

2. Wordpress installed in sub-dictionary www.domain.com/blog/

3. I have two .htaccess , one in the root and one in the wordpress
folder.

i want to

• www to non on all URLs
• Remove index.html from url
• Remove all .html extension / Re-direct 301 to url
  without .html extension
• Add trailing slash to the static webpages / Re-direct 301 from non-trailing slash
• Force trailing slash to the Wordpress Webpages / Re-direct 301 from non-trailing slash

Some examples

domain.tld/index.html >> domain.tld/

domain.tld/file.html >> domain.tld/file/

domain.tld/file.html/ >> domain.tld/file/

domain.tld/wordpress/post-name >> domain.tld/wordpress/post-name/

My code in ROOT htaccess is

<ifmodule mod_rewrite.c="">Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

#removing trailing slash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ $1 [R=301,L]

#www to non
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.(([a-z0-9_]+.)?domain.com)$ [NC]
RewriteRule .? http://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

#html
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [NC,L]

#index redirect
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /index.html\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^index.html$ http://domain.com/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} .html
RewriteRule ^(.*).html$ /$1 [R=301,L]</ifmodule>

The above code do

1. redirect www to non-www
2. Remove trailing slash at the end (if exists)
3. Remove index.html
4. Remove all .html
5. Redirect 301 to filename but doesn't add trailing slash at the end

Thanks Dana , can you help me with redirecting non trailing slash to trailing slash at the end , my wordpress is in sub dictionary http://domain.com/blog/

and i have two .htaccess , one in root and one in the wordpress folder.

i tried to solve it by adding that code in the root .htaccess

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.)/$
RewriteRule ^(.)$ http://ghadaalsaman.com/blog/$1/ [L,R=301]

Wordpress give 200 OK with the two versions ( with and without trailing slash ) and that hurts my SEO
Thanks in advanced

Not Working

i have some static webpages in root and wordpress installed in subdirectory , Canonical tag for the whole website was with trailing slash , i stripped the HTML extensions for static webpages but i can't force to add trailing slash to the static webpages so i changed the canonical for html webpages  from http://ghadaalsaman.com/articles.html/ to http://ghadaalsaman.com/articles but the Wordpress" http://ghadaalsaman.com/blog/ " still with trailing slash , when i've checked my google webmasters i found that my indexed pages dropped down 100 page !

what should i put in the canonical for the static pages? i tried to strip the slash from wordpress but i failed , so my static webpages canonical  with no trailing slash and wordpress with trailing slash .
