    HI,

    I build a page using the GD Location Switcher shortcode.

    Please see this page:
    https://www.urbansake.com/sake-guide-all-locations

    My issue is that when I click on a the link of any location, the trailing backslash after /location/ is missing.

    for example, if I browse to US->Colorado->Denver,

    the URL that is build is this
    https://www.urbansake.com/locationUS/colorado/denver/
    (gives me a 404 error)

    instead it should be this:
    https://www.urbansake.com/location/us/colorado/denver/

    Any setting I may have incorrect that is causing this? can’t figure out why the URL is malformed.

    Thank you!

    Hi Guust,

    Ah, I ran a test on my staging site and, yes, that is the issue. Changing permalink to post name fixes the issue.

    However, I have about 10 years of blog posts that for better or worse, use a custom permalink structure. If I change to POST NAME permalink structure all of my blog posts will get a new URL and all the incoming links will not work.

    I’ll have to look into some kind of redirection for lots of blog posts OR see if I can edit the location switcher shortcode for my situation.

    thank you
