How to force trailing slash?

I tried using .htaccess to force trailing slashes but then it caused errors with the Kirby Panel that prevented me from saving changes to pages.

In .htaccess add your code for forcing trailing slashes right after the “make panel links work” code.

Find:

# make panel links work
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^panel/(.*) panel/index.php [L]

After add the following, or whatever code you have for trailing slashes:

# redirect to trailing shash (/)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/ [L,R=301]

Keep in mind that you should also add the trailing slash in the internal links of your website since the kirby functions such as url() do not include a trailing slash. If you don’t do that then a redirect will happen every time somebody clicks a link from one page to another (which will not be noticeable by the users, but it is not a good practice)
