Redirect URLs with a trailing slash to URLs with no trailing slash via htaccess rule with [QSA,L]

Recently I broke ties with WordPress and migrated all of my site's content to my own custom-made CMS. All works great except for one thing. All previous links to my site's blog posts have a trailing slash. Since none of my current URLs have a trailing slash, the previous links no longer work and my SEO is nearly non-existent. I've been attempting to find an htaccess rule that will redirect all trailing slash URLs to URLs with no trailing slash, but as of now, nothing works.

You don't want to remove it 100%for SEO in WordPress.#

But this will show you how to if you want that. WordPress "/" fixes. My WordPress Gist

Can convert so it's helpful Config File: nginx.conf ...

location  /mirror/foo/ {
        ...
        rewrite ^(.*[^/])$ $1/ permanent;
        ...
}

...

Description WordPress "/" PHP fixes Retrieve trailing slash string, if blog set for adding trailing slashes.

Conditionally adds a trailing slash if the permalink structure has a trailing slash, strips the trailing slash if not. The string is passed through the ‘user_trailingslashit’ filter. Will remove trailing slash from string, if blog is not set to have them.

Usage

<?php user_trailingslashit( $string, $type_of_string ); ?>

Parameters

$string
(string) (false) URL with or without a trailing slash.
Default: None
$type_of_url
(string) (false) The type of URL being considered (e.g. single, category, etc) for use in the filter.
Default: None
Return Value (string)

Adds/removes a trailing slash based on the permalink structure. codex.wordpress. /Function_Reference/user_trailingslashit

2. If you want to add "/"

<?php trailingslashit( $string ) ?>

Examples

<?php
$path = trailingslashit( '/home/julien/bin/dotfiles' ); 
?>

$path will now contain: 

/home/julien/bin/dotfiles/

(Notice the trailing slash) https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/trailingslashit

3. This is new The most important part of any test is the assertion. An assertion is a comparison between the value you expect to get from the system and the value that you actually get. The very simplest tests may consist of nothing but a single assertion. Example:

public function test_trailingslashit_should_add_slash_when_none_is_present() {
    $this->assertSame( 'foo/', trailingslashit( 'foo' ) );
}

The assertSame() method accepts two parameters: the expected value (in this case, the hardcoded string 'foo/'), and the actual value (the value returned by trailingslashit()).

An annotated list of common assertions can be found below. https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/testing/automated-testing/writing-phpunit-tests/#assertions

Try these rules: (in www.example.com's server block) rewrite ^/$ http://example.com permanent break; rewrite ^/main(.*)$ http://example.com$1 permanent break; rewrite ^(.*)$ http://blog.example.com$1 permanent; Make sure you reload nginx.
With this config:

  1. http://www.example.com/ *redirects to
  2. http://example.comt -
  3. http://example.com/something - Everything else redirects to

Use this redirect rule as your very first rule to remove trailing slash:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ /$1 [NE,R=301,L]
