    Not 100% sure this is a Connections bug but…

    Since moving a site to run under Nginx rather than Apache I found that pagination was not working with the following URL (returned a 404 error)

    http://www.casa-uk.org/directory/pg/2

    To overcome this I have added the following directive to Nginx configuration to add a trailing slash to any /directory page that does not have one:

    location /directory {
    return 301 http://$host$uri/ ;
    }

    The above URL now gets re-written to http://www.casa-uk.org/directory/pg/2/ and displays without errors.

    Hmmm… perhaps this is a bug with WordPress and not Connections as these links are created using the core WordPress paginate_links() function.

    Ahhh… scratch that! That is a bug in Connections. Looking at the code in paginate_links() it does appear that WP does add a trailing slash as a default when setting up the paged defaults, something I do override in order to be able to use this function. I changed my defaults to match which will not add the trailing slash.

    Thanks for reporting the issue! The fix will be included in the next release.

    Is it wrong to be pleased it was a bug? ;-)

    Nope, not at all … I’m the same way … that way I know it wasn’t something I did wrong.
