   I had a professional install WordPress for me in a directory called weblogs on my server. I cannot seem to correct the problem and my host says it is not on their end.

   If you enter my blog URL as http://www.mccordweb.com/weblogs my blog is not visible add the slash and you can see my blog at http://www.mccordweb.com/weblogs/ what is concerning is that Google and all the Feedburner feed links, which I cannot control, reference this URL http://www.mccordweb.com/weblogs so it appears that my blog is broken when someone tries to acces the home page of my blog from a feed reader of from a link on Google.

   My blog set up professional said he could not figure it out. I have tried numerous work arounds and plug-ins to force a slash to be added to the default URL. This is my last resource.

   I will even pay you to fix it if you come up with a solution. It does not appear to be a control panel setting but a quirk some where in the new version of WordPress which only seems to be happy in the root directory. WordPress is not sharing nicely with the other files on my server!

   Mccordweb,

   It could be that it's not actually WordPress causing the issue, in fact I'm pretty sure it's not as I use 2.5 and can reference URLs with, or without the slash.

   If your URLs are setup correctly in the WordPress admin panel, then I'd start looking at your hosting account to see how your root .htaccess is set.

   Might you be able to put a forwarder on that URL through your hosting control panel to forward the non-slashed version to the slashed?

   Not sure if that would take care of all of the problems, but might be a start.

   This is what is currently in the weblogs directory .htaccess file:

   # BEGIN WordPress
   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /weblogs/
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /weblogs/index.php [L]
   </IfModule>

   # END WordPress

   In my root directory I have a .htaccess file and have added this
   Redirect /weblogs http://www.mccordweb.com/weblogs/index.php
   but this does not resolve the problem either

   Any other ideas?
