Wordpress Redirect Question

by jsmith2482

Hey,
So on my wordpress blog (Six Pack Diet |Six Pack Ab Workout|Bodybuilding Routine| Jimmy Smith) I created a page labled "store" to get the term 'store" in my header. I wanted it to redirect to a static html page that I had designed.

I wanted it to redirect to Welcome to the Jimmy Smith Training Physique Transformation Store

The problem is that wordpress creates the page as Welcome to the Jimmy Smith Training Physique Transformation Store

That extra "/" causes a big problem as they are different pages.

I used the Redirection plugin but it doesn't seem to be working. Any advice?

    Unless you want WordPress to step in and take charge, you need to redirect to an actual existing file, i.e., 'yoursite.com/store.html'. Trailing slashes don't count in URLs (well, they do, but that's a whole different discussion).

    Just go to your Wordpress settings and look for "Permalinks" and change it to %postname%.php and tell your software to redirect to store.php instead of store and it shouldn't add another /, even if it will, it won't have any effect
