I found out a small discrepancy in various taxonomy URLs, some of which produce an additional forward slash (resulting in a double forward slash) in links on the default page as well as in menu links.

The first problem is in the layouts/index.html file:

$ diff -u layouts/index-original.html layouts/index.html
--- layouts/index-original.html	2018-01-11 10:37:56.684475367 +1100

               {{ if .Params.tags }}
                 <span class="post-meta">
                 {{ range .Params.tags }}
-                  #<a href="{{ $.Site.LanguagePrefix | absURL }}/tags/{{ . | urlize }}/">{{ . }}</a>&nbsp;
+                  #<a href="{{ $.Site.LanguagePrefix | absURL }}tags/{{ . | urlize }}/">{{ . }}</a>&nbsp;
                 {{ end }}
                 </span>
               {{ end }}

This is quite interesting, as exactly the same code is present in layouts/_default/list.html where it does not contain the beginning forward slash in the /tags/ string (as expected).

A similar problem occurs in layouts/_default/terms.html file:

$ diff -u layouts/_default/terms-original.html layouts/_default/terms.html

           {{ end }}
         {{ end }}

Here, the whole URL was injected two times with the same server path (taken from config files baseURL variable?). I mean, let's assume that: baseURL="https://www.domain.tld/blog/". After the compilation, it resulted in menu nav links to look like: https://www.domain.tld/blog/blog/tags/ or https://www.domain.tld/blog/blog/categories/, and that is undesirable.

Note: I do not use the Multilingual Mode. Hopefully, this will not break it.

Many thanks and regards!

I found out that the problem is more complex and the above proposed solution does not sanitize all of the possible issues. I am better closing this before causing more harm than good.

Anyway, many thanks to everyone involved!
