Htaccess add remove trailing slash from URL

Question

My website runs a script called -  WSS wallpaper script  My Problem -  I have been trying to force remove or add trailing slash to the end of my URL to prevent duplicated content and also to clean up my URLs   I have tried all sorts and tried everything I could think of and loads from the interwebs but no such luck yet  It might be a quick fix but I have looked at it so much I am probably blind to something dead obvious   So I present you with all my  htaccess code   DirectoryIndex index php  RewriteEngine on RewriteRule  download   0-9       0-9   x  0-9              image php id  1 amp width  2 amp height  3 amp cropratio  4 amp download 1  L  RewriteRule  file   0-9       0-9   x  0-9              image php id  1 amp width  2 amp height  3 amp cropratio  4  L  RewriteRule  preview   0-9       0-9   x  0-9              wallpaper preview php id  1 amp width  2 amp height  3 amp name  4  L  RewriteRule  thumbnail   0-9       0-9   x  0-9                                          image php wallpaper id  1 amp width  2 amp height  3 amp cropratio  4 amp align  5 amp valign  6 amp file  7  L  RewriteRule  cat   0-9               p  0-9    index php task category amp id  1 amp name  2 amp page  3  L  RewriteRule  cat   0-9                 0-9a-zA-Z -    p  0-9    index php task category amp id  1 amp name  2 amp sortby  3 amp page  4  L  RewriteRule  cat   0-9                 0-9a-zA-Z -   -  0-9    index php task category amp id  1 amp sortby  3 amp page  4  L  RewriteRule  cat   0-9               index php task category amp id  1 amp name  2  L  RewriteRule  tag             0-9a-zA-Z -      0-9    index php task tag amp t  1 amp sortby  2 amp page  3  L  RewriteRule  tag           index php task tag amp t  1  L  RewriteRule  profile   0-9               index php task profile amp id  1 amp name  2  L  RewriteRule  profile comments   0-9               index php task users comments amp id  1 amp name  2  L  RewriteRule  page   0-9    index php task view page amp id  1  L    RewriteRule  register index php task register  L   RewriteRule  lost-password index php task lost pass  L   RewriteRule  links index php task links  L  RewriteRule  news item   0-9              index php task news amp id  1  L  RewriteRule  news page  0-9    index php task news amp page  1  L  RewriteRule  members          -          page  0-9     index php task member list amp sort  1 amp order  2 amp page  3  L  RewriteRule  members index php task member list  L  RewriteRule  messages index php task messages  L  RewriteRule  submit index php task submit  L  RewriteRule  search           index php task search amp q  1  L  RewriteRule  search index php task search  L  RewriteRule  submit index php task submit  L  RewriteRule  r-  0-9    -  0-9     go php id  1 amp ref  2  L  RewriteRule  r-  0-9     go php id  1  L  RewriteRule              0-9              index php task view amp id  2 amp name  3  L  RewriteRule  news           index php task news amp name  1  L  RewriteRule  profile           index php task profile amp name  1  L  RewriteRule  news index php task news  L  RewriteRule  page           index php task view page amp name  1  L    RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -f RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -d RewriteRule              0-9a-zA-Z  -      0-9    index php task category amp name  1 amp sortby  2 amp page  3  L  RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -f RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -d RewriteRule                      index php task view amp name  2  L  RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -f RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -d RewriteRule            index php task category amp name  1  L       www reslove    RewriteCond   HTTP HOST    www   RewriteRule        http   www   HTTP HOST   1  R 301 L     www reslove        index reslove    Options  FollowSymLinks RewriteCond   THE REQUEST      index  php RewriteRule      index php  http   www epicwallpaper net  1  R 301 L     index reslove

This is what I ve used for my latest app     redirect the main page to landing   RedirectMatch 302      landing    remove php ext from url   https   stackoverflow com questions 4026021 remove-php-extension-with-htaccess RewriteEngine on     File exists but has a trailing slash   https   stackoverflow com questions 21417263 htaccess-add-remove-trailing-slash-from-url RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -d RewriteRule              1  R 302 L QSA     ok  It will still find the file but relative assets won t load   e g  page   landing   - gt  assets js main js main   that s we have the rules above  RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME     php RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -d RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   php -f  RewriteRule              1 php

Right below the RewriteEngine On line  add   RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -d RewriteRule           1  L R     lt - for test  for prod use  L R 301    to enforce a no-trailing-slash policy    To enforce a trailing-slash policy   RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -f RewriteRule              1   L R     lt - for test  for prod use  L R 301      EDIT  commented the R 301 parts because  as explained in a comment      Be careful with that R 301  Having it there makes many browsers cache the  htaccess-file indefinitely  It somehow becomes irreversible if you can t clear the browser-cache on all machines that opened it  When testing  better go with simple R or R 302   After you ve completed your tests  you can use R 301

To complement Jon Lin s answer  here is a no-trailing-slash technique that also works if the website is located in a directory  like example org blog     RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -d RewriteCond   REQUEST URI         RewriteRule    1  R 301 L     For the sake of completeness  here is an alternative emphasizing that REQUEST URI starts with a slash  at least in  htaccess files    RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -d RewriteCond   REQUEST URI          RewriteRule     1  R 301 L   lt -- added slash here too  don t forget it   Just don t use   REQUEST URI          Because in the root directory REQUEST URI equals    the leading slash  and it would be misinterpreted as a trailing slash    If you are interested in more reading    PR 3145 for Laravel A discussion on commit 343c31e    update  this technique is now implemented in Laravel 5 5

Options  FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On RewriteBase      hide  html extension   To externally redirect  dir foo html to  dir foo RewriteCond   THE REQUEST    A-Z  3   s        html RewriteRule    1  R 301 L   RewriteCond   THE REQUEST    A-Z  3   s         s RewriteRule    1  R 301 L      To internally redirect  dir foo to  dir foo html RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME  html -f RewriteRule             1 html  L     lt Files          Hh  Tt  Aa    gt  order allow deny deny from all satisfy all  lt  Files gt    This removes html code or php if you supplement it  Allows you to add trailing slash and it come up as well as the url without the trailing slash all bypassing the 404 code  Plus a little added security
