Wrong permalink settings break affliate links…

WP admin > settings > permalinks > if you use the default option for postname, the value in the settings looks like this /%postname%/ see it has a trailing slash, so your post/page urls will look something like somewebsite.com/hello-world/

But I see that when I have this settings for permalinks (postname only) then the easy affiliate links somwebsitecom/goto/xyz/ does not work, and results in an Oops! Page not found 404 default WP error….

The only way I can get the easy affiliate link to work is if we remove the trailing slash in the permalink postname setting so it looks like /%postname%

And then if we refresh the easy affilate link manage links we see the affliate link url has changed to somewebsite.com/goto/xyz (no trailing slash)

And the affiliate link now behaves as desired and re-directs to the target URL.

Is the plugin developer aware of this issue and do you have any advice or documentation regarding this?

Great plugin! – thanks
