#2877 closed defect (bug) (fixed)

A Slash too much @ get_pagenum_link()

Reported by: davemad-davenet's profile dave@… Owned by: costdev's profile costdev
Milestone: 6.4 Priority: normal
Severity: normal Version: 2.0
Component: Posts, Post Types Keywords: has-patch has-unit-tests has-testing-info commit
Focuses: template Cc:

Description

  • File: template-functions-links.php
  • Function: get_pagenum_link()

The following code is at the end of the function:

	// showing /page/1/ or ?paged=1 is redundant
	if ( 1 === $pagenum ) {
		$qstr = str_replace('page/1/', '', $qstr); // for mod_rewrite style
		$qstr = remove_query_arg('paged', $qstr); // for query style
	}

If you work with the mod_rewrite style, you will get this URL for the first page:

http://www.example.com/wordpress/index.php/
This wont work (/ at the end).

Correx:

	// showing /page/1/ or ?paged=1 is redundant
	if ( 1 === $pagenum ) {
		$qstr = str_replace('/page/1/', '', $qstr); // for mod_rewrite style
		$qstr = remove_query_arg('paged', $qstr); // for query style
	}

Notes:

  • sry for my bad english...
  • i've downloaded a german translation of wordpress 2.0.3, so maybe its just in this version... ?!

No, it's that way in the english version. I don't think that would fix it and there would be a problem with that. Putting the slash in front like you did would make the server redirect to root. So if you have wordpress in a directory it would screw up like so:
You would want this:
http://site.com/wordpress/testing/1/
But you would get this:
http://site.com/testing/1/

#15 @petitphp

PR with refreshed patch added.

I've made a change from the original patch to ensure query_args don't force a trailing slash, and I updated the tests accordingly.

I've tested multiple cases :

In every case, get_pagenum_link correctly matched the permalink structure and only added a trailing slash if present.

This should be ready for testing on more exotic WordPress install.

Previously, a trailing slash was appended to the link returned from this function. If the permalink structure didn't contain a trailing slash, this link could fail.

This change removes trailing slashes and only appends one if the site is set for adding trailing slashes.

This PR is an update of #3931 which makes various test improvements, including:

  • Documentation updates.
  • Backing up some $_SERVER variables before any tests run, and restoring them after each test has run.
  • Using a data provider to group related datasets.
  • Adding datasets that account for index.php in the permalink structure.

@mukesh27 Thanks for your comment. May I ask what is the exact reproducible steps here from the user's perspective?

I tried to reproduced the issue as described in the ticket. But couldn't make it.
The above mentioned links worked for me without using patch, so not sure about this patch.

Could you please guide me the steps to reproduce this issue. Thanks

Hey @webtechpooja

I tried to reproduced the issue as described in the ticket. But couldn't make it.
The above mentioned links worked for me without using patch, so not sure about this patch.

Sorry, my first report wasn't clear on what and how to test this.

The original issue is that the get_pagenum_link function always add a slash at the end of the link to the first page of a post type or taxonomy archive even if the permalink structure doesn't contain one.

Could you please guide me the steps to reproduce this issue. Thanks

Here the steps to reproduce the issue and the expected result.

Given a WordPress install with TwentyTwentyThree theme :

  • Set the permalink structure to /%postname% (no trailing slash)
  • Create multiple posts (enough to have at least two pages)
  • On the frontend go to the year archive page (https://example.com/2023)
  • The Older Posts -> link should be https://example.com/2023/page/2 (no trailing slash, work as expected)
  • Go to the second page (https://example.com/2023/page/2)
  • The <- Newer Posts link should be https://example.com/2023 but the actual link is https://example.com/2023/ with a trailing slash (not working as expected).

The patch should fix the issue from the last step and remove the trailing slash of the first page link.

Let me know if you need additional information.

Test Report

Environment

  • WordPress - 6.3.1
  • Chrome Version - Version 117.0.5938.92
  • OS - macOS Ventura Version: 13.2.1
  • Theme: Twenty Twenty-Three Version: 1.2
  • PHP - 8.1.9
  • Web Server - nginx
  • Database - MySQL 8.0.16

Test Results

I setup a WordPress with twenty twenty-three theme, set permalink without trailing slash and added 20 posts to regenerate the issue and get the Older Post and Newer Post as Pagination.
When I clicked on the Newer Post to Older Post to Newer Post, didn’t get the slash at the end of the URL as mentioned steps to reproduced by @petitphp.

So, the conclusion is the issue is not reproduced.

Thank you, @petitphp for providing the detailed instructions for reproducing the issue.

Test Report

Environment

  • WordPress - 6.4 Beta 1
  • Chrome Version - Version 117.0.5938.92
  • OS - macOS Ventura Version: 13.0
  • Theme: Twenty Twenty-Three Version: 1.2
  • PHP - 8.1.9
  • Web Server - nginx
  • Database - MySQL 8.0.16

Actual Results

I created a test setup using WordPress 6.4 Beta 1 and used the Twenty Twenty-Three theme, Here I followed the exact steps that were mentioned above by @petitphp:

  • Set the permalink structure to /%postname% (no trailing slash)
  • Created 20 posts
  • Then checked on frontend on both pages Older and newer pages.
  • I didn’t get the slash at the end of the URL.

Conclusion

❌ The issue is not recreated at my end. So I didn't apply the patch.

@petitphp it seems that the testers cannot reproduce the issue. Perhaps we can close this ticket. Could you take a look?

#33 @petitphp

@nicolefurlan thanks for the ping, I didn't had time to look back at this ticket after the new test report, will do this shortly.

#34 @petitphp

@tejwanihemant, @webtechpooja, thanks for the test report.

The reason you didn't get the trailing slash in the URL in your testing is because WordPress has redirected you to the correct URL.

This is the purpose of this patch,

Looking at the network tab in the browser devtools you should see a redirect without the patch and no redirect with the patch.

Before, going back to the first page trigger a redirect

200 : localhost/2023      <-- on the first page
200 : localhost/2023/2    <-- going to the second page
301 : localhost/2023/     <-- going back the first page
200 : localhost/2023      <-- user is redirected to the correct URL without trailing slash

After, going back to the first page directly

200 : localhost/2023     <-- on the first page
200 : localhost/2023/2   <-- going to the second page
200 : localhost/2023     <-- going back the first page (no redirect)

See the attached screenshot for an example.

@nicolefurlan I can still reproduce the issue on trunk, and patch fix the issue.

Thank you everyone for your test reports :)

@costdev the PR/patch has multiple test reports showing it does indeed resolve the issue. Is it ready for commit? If yes, then:

  • Are you planning to commit it ahead of a tentatively scheduled 6.4 Beta 5 (tomorrow Oct 16th) or RC1 (the next day Oct 17th)?
  • Or if you don't have time, another committer (maybe me) can pick it up?

In 56939:

Posts, Post Types: Don't force trailing slash in get_pagenum_link().

Previously, a trailing slash was appended to the link returned from get_pagenum_link(). If the permalink structure didn't contain a trailing slash, this link could fail.

This change removes trailing slashes and only appends one if the site is set for adding trailing slashes.

This adds a new test file for the accompanying tests, tests/phpunit/tests/link/getPagenumLink.php, and moves an existing test for get_pagenum_link() to the same file.
