Use trailing slash in home_url()

  • Hi,

    In Google Webmaster Tools ? International Targeting I have some “no return tags” errors.
    I think this is due to the home_url() you’re using in your plugin, which generates a redirect to the url without the trailing slash.
    Both language switcher and the link in the <head>:

    <link rel="alternate" hreflang="it" href="https://mywebsite.com">
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://mywebsite.com/en">

    are missing the final /
    should be:

    <link rel="alternate" hreflang="it" href="https://mywebsite.com/">
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://mywebsite.com/en/">

    to avoid unnecessary redirects and maybe the “no return tags” errors in Google.

    Is it possible to change home_url() to home_url( ‘/’ ) to avoid these unnecessary redirects?

    Thanks
    Kind Regards
    Davide

    Hi Dennis,

    do you mean a pull request on Github?

    I’ve changed home_url() to home_url( ‘/’ ) in MslsOptions.php, line 196 and 213.
    The problem is fixed but editing core file it’s not update friendly ??

    Thanks

    Yes, on GitHub so the next update will have this modification too.
