Strange // in blog urls

Question

Hi i have found double (//) or triple (///) or four(////) slash in url of blog navigations, categories etc. how to remove these and convert into one slash only

Comments

Then later add to each url of the site

---

where do you got the "slash in url of blog navigations" . Blog navigation means ??

---

example
http://www.thegeneralstuff.com//blog?category=1
http://www.thegeneralstuff.com//articles

Answer 1

Please check the plugin code (checl all page modules ) . There mightbe one extra slashes are there . Check for the below two functions . There might be one extra slash added by mistake - 

 

function match_request($request)

{

if ($request=='blog')   // may be change to if ($request=='/blog') in the file 

return true;

 

return false;

}

 

function suggest_requests() // for display in admin interface

{

return array(

array(

'title' => 'Example',

'request' => 'blog',    //might be there is 'request' => '/blog', in the plugin file . 

'nav' => 'M', 

),

);

}

 

If the request parts starts with a / then remove those . It should work perfect for you . 

Hope this helps .

which file need to check

---

first check the qa-plugin.php . You would find few files were registered with page module .
eg - if you found something like this
    qa_register_plugin_module('page', 'qa-example-page.php', 'qa_example_page', 'Example Page');

then qa-example-page.php is the right file for you to check .

---

find something in qa-blog file

return array(
            array(
                'title' => 'Blog',
                'request' => 'blog',
                'nav' => 'M', // 'M'=main, 'F'=footer, 'B'=before main, 'O'=opposite main, null=none
            ),
        );
    }

where these files located unable to find

Then it looks good only . can you check the match_request($request) function . paste the content here please .

If this is also fine then cross check the Preferred site URL: in Admin -> General section

public function match_request( $request )
    {
        return strpos($request, 'blog') !== false;
    }
       
    /*
        MAIN function: display the chat room, or run an AJAX request
    */
    public function process_request( $request )
    {
        $category_1 = qa_opt('qa_blog_cat_1');
        $category_2 = qa_opt('qa_blog_cat_2');
        $category_3 = qa_opt('qa_blog_cat_3');
        $category_4 = qa_opt('qa_blog_cat_4');
        $category_5 = qa_opt('qa_blog_cat_5');
       
        $qa_content=qa_content_prepare();
        $cat = -1;
        if (isset($_GET['category'])) $cat = $_GET['category'];
            $qa_content['navigation']['sub'] = array();
$qa_content['navigation']['sub']['all'] = array(    'label' => qa_lang('qa_blog_lang/nav_all'),
                'url' => qa_path_to_root().'/blog',
                'selected' => isset($_GET['category']) ? 0 : 1);
        $qa_content['navigation']['sub']['cat1'] = array('label' => $category_1,
                'url' => qa_path_to_root().'/blog?category=1',
                'selected' => $cat == 1 ? 1 : 0);           
        $qa_content['navigation']['sub']['cat2'] = array('label' => $category_2,
                'url' => qa_path_to_root().'/blog?category=2',
                'selected' => $cat == 2 ? 1 : 0);
        $qa_content['navigation']['sub']['cat3'] = array('label' => $category_3,
                'url' => qa_path_to_root().'/blog?category=3',
                'selected' => $cat == 3 ? 1 : 0);
        $qa_content['navigation']['sub']['cat4'] = array('label' => $category_4,
                'url' => qa_path_to_root().'/blog?category=4',
                'selected' => $cat == 4 ? 1 : 0);
        $qa_content['navigation']['sub']['cat5'] = array('label' => $category_5,
                'url' => qa_path_to_root().'/blog?category=5',
                'selected' => $cat == 5 ? 1 : 0);
        $qa_content['navigation']['sub']['post'] = array('label' => qa_lang('qa_blog_lang/nav_post'),
                'url' => qa_path_to_root().'/articles');
