I upgraded to 9.4.2 and when I look at %base\_url% it drops the “/” at the end of the website address.  
This creates issues with some images.

Hmm, that sounds strange; it shouldn’t have happened in this point upgrade. Can you share some more details?

- What version did you upgrade from — 9.4.1?
- Could you be more specific about “some images”?
- Can you share your project with us? Or the URL of your site where the issue is happening?

The more details you can give us, the quicker we can locate the source of the issue.

Thanks!

Hi Dan,  
I upgraded from 9.4.1. It shows up in Total CMS Blog Lists. I=The images can’t be found.  
I downgraded to 9.4.1 and it started working again.  
My web address entered is [https://tagoverland.au/](https://tagoverland.au/) and if I look at %base\_url% it has dropped the “/” at the end. If I put a double slash at the end of the website address. %base\_url% only shows one, but still doesn’t work  
I can’t give you a url to look at as I went back to 9.4.1 and re-uploaded my project so my site is working now.  
It seems something has changed with the base url.  
Cheers,  
Greg
