remove trailing slash from sub-directory multisite

  • Hi,

    Have migrated a subdirectory multisite from Nginx to LiteSpeed, but I cannot figure out how to configure the htaccess rules.

    Simply the situation is that I need to 301 from abc.com/site1/a/ to abc.com/site1/a without the end trailing slash.

    I have tried most of the lines on the internet I can possibly find, they can work 301 for pages but cannot fix the too many redirect problem for wp-admin/ urls.

    The original htaccess is as follows:

    # BEGIN WordPress
# The directives (lines) between "BEGIN WordPress" and "END WordPress" are
# dynamically generated, and should only be modified via WordPress filters.
# Any changes to the directives between these markers will be overwritten.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

    I have tried rules like:

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ /$1 [R=301,L]
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.+)/$
RewriteRule ^ %1 [R=301,L]

    Most of the time, these rules can work well for the main site abc.com/wp-admin/ but will cause a redirect loop for sub-directory sites: abc.com/site1/wp-admin/

    Can anyone help with a doable redirect rule? thanks!

    This works for me out of the box with the default WordPress Multisite .htaccess rules generated by WordPress (just tested this).

    All I had to do was ensure the permalink setting did not have the trailing slash ie /%postname% instead of /%postname%/

    Thanks for the reply but it does not work for me. The permalink is not enough for 301s
