Using the Redirect plugin

You can use the Redirect plugin to redirect simple routes but also use it for more advanced route matches. See some examples below.

Simple redirect exact match

Source URL:

oldpage/wont/work/anymore

Destination URL:

newpage/will/work/again

Simple redirect to an other (sub)domain

Source URL:

oldpage/wont/work/anymore

Destination URL:

https://www.newwebsite.com/newpage/will/work/again

More advanced redirect with a parameter

Source URL:

category/<catname>/overview.php

Destination URL:

overview/category/<catname>/index.html

Multiple parameters mixed

Source URL:

cars/<brand>/<dontusepart>/<color>/index.html

Destination URL:

overview/cars/<brand>/colors/<color>

*note: it is not required to use all the source parameters in the destination URL

Replace a uri parameter in the source string to a new path

Source URL:

books/detail

Destination URL:

book-detail/<bookId>/index.html

Example: the original url looks like:

books/detail?bookId=124

After the redirect, the url will look like:

book-detail/124/index.html

Replace a long path with unknown amount of segments for an other url

Source URL:

wholepath/<options:.+>

Destination URL:

otherpath/index.html?cat=<a>&subcat=<b>

Example: the original url looks like:

wholepath/this/is/a/long/path/with/params?a=1&b=2&c=4

After the redirect, the url will look like:

/otherpath/index.html?cat=1&subcat=2
