As an update to the previous work, it was observed that the blog urls such as https://www.adrianflux.co.uk/blog/2023/06/fuelling-around-podcast-greg-james.html/ were being rendered with the trailing slash. This was caused by the custom code that was deployed to add the trailing slashes being added to the single post pages as well. Normally this would not be an issue, but in the case of the Fluxposure blog the canonical urls were configured to end with a slash.

Initially the plugin code was changed to not add a slash on the single post urls. It was decided however that the site should be configured to not use the .html suffix at all. This was in line with previous updates, such as the Bikesure blog.

The permalink settings were changed in the WordPress site and a bulk redirect rule was added to the proxy to handle the redirect from https://www.adrianflux.co.uk/blog/2023/06/fuelling-around-podcast-greg-james.html to https://www.adrianflux.co.uk/blog/2023/06/fuelling-around-podcast-greg-james/.
