Dear Firecoders support team,
I’m currently using Route 66 on my Joomla site and trying to generate category URLs that end with a trailing slash. In the Category URL pattern, I have set the following:
{categoryPath}/
However, despite this configuration, the resulting URLs do not end with a "/" as expected. For example, instead of:
/news/local/
the generated URL is:
/news/local
I’ve verified the following:


The plugin Route 66 - Content is enabled and correctly configured.


The .htaccess file does not include any rule that removes trailing slashes.


The Joomla SEO settings are enabled (SEF URLs, URL rewriting, suffix disabled).


I’ve cleared Joomla and browser cache.


I tested with and without a menu item assigned to the category.


Unfortunately, the URLs still do not respect the trailing slash defined in the pattern.
Could you please confirm whether this is a known limitation or if there's any workaround to force Route 66 to keep the trailing slash for category paths?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Alfonso Francés

Hi Alfonso,

There is a new option in Joomla to handle trailing slashes. Can you please check that? It is located in the plugin named "System - SEF".
