No Trailing Slashes on Links?

I'm working on a forum within a wishlist member site. When I click on some links within the forum, such as the "private messages inbox" link or the "members" link, the trailing slash at the end of the URL is not added and the page doesn't work (it just ends up blank). When I add the trailing slash manually, the page loads fine. However, I can't expect my users to figure that out. What is causing this?

 

Thanks.

I would check out your server configuration – perhaps .htaccess file?  there is no real difference in a url with or without a trailing slash… unless you have some sort of redirection going on…

we really should have a trailing slash there anyway to prevent an extra redirect, but it should still work… will open a ticket to make sure we have the trailing slash, but again, still should work…

Thanks so much for the help, but I actually discovered the issue — both functions.php and wp-config.php weren't closed with a ?> (idiot developers…). Doing that fixed the trailing slash and a bunch of other issues as well.

 

Thanks though.
