I'm kind of new to the whole .htaccess thing and I've been trying to modify it so that none of my links will have trailing slashes at the end of their respective URLs. My website is filmblurb.org.
The code for the .htaccess where Wordpress begins and ends looks like this:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
I would appreciate it if someone can lead me in the right direction on how to fix this. Thanks.

Use the String. replace() method to remove a trailing slash from a string, e.g. str. replace(/\/+$/, '') . The replace method will remove the trailing slash from the string by replacing it with an empty string.
Historically, a trailing slash marked a directory and a URL without a trailing slash at the end used to mean that the URL was a file. Today, however, trailing slashes are purely conventional, and Google does not care whether you use them; as long as you're consistent.
The trailing slash does not matter for your root domain or subdomain. Google sees the two as equivalent. But trailing slashes do matter for everything else because Google sees the two versions (one with a trailing slash and one without) as being different URLs.
To do so, go to the “Settings -> Permalinks” section and, depending on your situation, either add or delete the last slash. The “Custom Structure” field ends with a slash, so all other WordPress URLs will have the trailing slash. Likewise, if it is not present there, the slash will be missing in your website's URLs.
You can add a RewriteRule to eliminate the trailing slash:
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ $1 [R=301,L]
