Force trailing slash except in a specific folder

I am forcing trailing slashes on my website but it's caused an issue with our Wiki, as it treats them as a blank page.

Want I want to do is force trailing slash except if in /wiki/. How would I do this?

Here is my current rule for it:

  # force trailing slash
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteRule ^(.*)([^/])$        /$1$2/ [L,R=301]
Solution

  • You can add a RewriteCond (condition) directive to create an exception for any URL that starts /wiki/.

    For example:

    # force trailing slash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/wiki/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)([^/])$        /$1$2/ [L,R=301]

    The ! prefix on the regex ^/wiki/ negates the expression, so it is successful when it does not match.

    You will need to clear your browser cache.
