Sites with url end in .html

I created a simple c# program to fix this, I don’t know if this help but follow the code

Hello Edson,

Thank you for reaching out and for providing a detailed explanation of the issue you’re encountering with your blog’s permalinks. We understand your concern regarding the URL structure and its potential impact on SEO.

Staatic is designed to adapt to the permalink structure you’ve configured within your WordPress settings. If your permalinks are set to include “.html” at the end, like “/%postname%.html”, Staatic should normally generate links that exactly match this structure, resulting in URLs like “/some/page.html”. The presence of “/some/page.html/index.html” on the filesystem is due to how Staatic organizes content for web delivery. This technical detail is primarily for serving the files correctly and should not affect how your URLs appear to visitors or search engines.

However, the issue you’re experiencing, where a trailing slash is added to your URLs, making them appear as “/year/month/blog-post.html/”, is something we can certainly look into. This behavior isn’t expected based on the permalink structure you’ve described.

To help us diagnose and address this issue more effectively, could you please provide us with your site’s Health screen information? This can be found by going to Tools > Site Health > Info (tab) in your WordPress dashboard. There, you’ll find a button to copy the information to your clipboard. Once you have that information, please send it to us at [email protected].

Additionally, we appreciate you sharing the C# program you created to address this issue.

Thanks in advance for providing the requested information.

Thanks for the follow-up and the details about your setup. It helps us narrow down the issue with your permalink structure after using Staatic.

To ensure we’re on the same page, it sounds like the HTML Staatic generates has the correct links ending in “.html”, and your C# script only adjusts the static file/directory structure post-generation. This makes me wonder exactly where the “.html/” issue crops up in your workflow.

A few more questions for clarification:

1. When and where exactly do you notice the URLs ending with “.html/”?
2. You mentioned using Docker, but could you specify the web server(s) or proxy(s) setup? The server configuration might influence how URLs are handled and displayed.

Understanding these details is crucial for us to pinpoint the issue accurately.

Looking forward to your response.

Hi all,

Follow answers for your questions.

To ensure we’re on the same page, it sounds like the HTML Staatic generates has the correct links ending in “.html”
yes, the links correctly reference the appropriate URLs.

C# script only adjusts the static file/directory structure post-generation
My script renames the index.html file to the folder name and moves it up one directory

When and where exactly do you notice the URLs ending with “.html/”?
I notice this when I publish static folder in a nginx docker enviroment, upon cliking a link with the correct URL, I observe a trailing “/” at the end of the URL, this occurs because the folder structure follows a format where the folder name corresponds to %postname%/index.html

You mentioned using Docker, but could you specify the web server(s) or proxy(s) setup?
I am using Nginx-Proxy-Manager, with the proxy host pointing to the container name. The setup is straightforward and not customized

Best Regards,

Thanks for clarifying the details. We now understand the issue stems from how Nginx handles your site’s file structure.

Nginx has a feature that automatically redirects requests to directories missing a trailing slash. This appears incompatible with Staatic’s default file structure, resulting in URLs with an unwanted trailing “/”.

There are a couple options to address this:

1. Configure Nginx by changing the try_files declaration to:
   try_files $uri $uri/index.html $uri/ /index.html;
   This should serve the correct page immediately instead of redirecting. However, we realize this may not be possible in all setups.
2. Use Staatic’s development version with an updated file structure. We’ve made changes so the file structure works with Nginx out of the box. You can download this version by:

• Going to the Staatic plugin page
• Selecting “Advanced View”
• Under “Advanced Options > Previous Versions”, choose “Development Version”
• Click “Download”

The development version should resolve the issue with unwanted slashes in your URLs. Please install this updated version of Staatic and let us know if you have any other questions or run into any issues.

Hi all,

I have downloaded the developer version. The version signature is the same as the actual 1.9.2. Is this correct?

In this version, all files were generated with a %postname%.html naming convention, and I am serving the files with nginx. Everything is working fine. Thank you very much for the quick support.

Best regards,
Edson Luiz Candido

You’re correct – the version signature for the development build is currently the same as the stable 1.9.2 release. This signature will be updated with the next major stable version.

I’m really glad to hear that the adjusted file naming convention in the development version has resolved your issue with the unwanted trailing slashes! And that serving the static files through Nginx is now working smoothly.

Thank you for confirming that everything is operating as intended. We appreciate you taking the time to test the development build and provide feedback. Do not hesitate to reach out if any other questions come up.
