Are you sure you are using shlink-web-client 3.10.1? Because support for URLs with multi-segment slugs was added in 3.7.2

Since that version, shlink-web-client parses the slug replacing / with __ so that client-side routing works:

If you built that URL manually yourself, then it is expected to not work. You have to do the parsing above.

Ah, I'm using 3.5.2, not 3.10.1.
The webclient shows: "version: latest" and I assumed that I was using the latest version, but it's only a link to the latest version.
I will update my webclient! Thank you!

Yeah, that probably needs some thinking.

The "latest" tag is built every time a change is merged into develop, but if you have an outdated "latest", it is actually not the true latest, if that makes any sense 😅

I'm thinking it should somehow also reference the latest stable version it was built upon.

That said, I would recommend not relying on "latest", as it can have unstable changes.

I was confusing the server and client version. We are using the server version 3.5.2. I can't see the version of the web client anywhere. How can I check which web client version we are using?

[acelaya]

You can't, if you are using latest or stable. I need to fix that.
