@Alex,

Great to hear. I hope this fixes your problem too!

Ah, my about page. I set up some Directly Cached Files in WP Super Cache and it looks like it didn't work quite right. Thanks for the catch, I've fixed it now.

Thank you for this fine information Alissa; very clear explanation, and as Jeff said â€” and it sounds a little “Dr. House”-ish â€” excellent diagnosis.

Hi Alissa This is certainly one way to resolve the conflict (and an excellent diagnosis, btw). Given that you are working with three different components (WordPress, Super Cache, and the 3G Blacklist), I would say that your solution is practical and effective. Getting all three components to play nicely with the removal of only two characters is about as efficient as it gets, imo. As you say, a more formal solution would involve removing the trailing slash from the permalinks before they are processed by Super Cache, however the result would be essentially the same: omission of the duplicate trailing slash. In either case, you are correct that duplicate slashes have no business in legitimate URLs. Great work! :)
