Hi, I hope someone can help or at least tell me if what I’m trying to do is possible or not.
I have a site with pages such as:
http://example.com/Getting-started
and I’m moving to a layout with versions for top level navigation, like:
http://example.com/1.0/Getting-started
http://example.com/1.1/Getting-started
etc.
I wanted to use a redirect so if anyone tried the http://example.com/Getting-started url, it would put them to the 1.1 version at http://example.com/1.1/Getting-started. The following works for pages that exist:
redirects:
/(.*): '/1.1/$1'
However if I purposely try a url for a page that doesn’t exist (such as ‘http://example.com/Getting-started/blah’) the browser window crashes and I see a ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS
error and the url looks like:
http://example.com/1.1/1.1/1.1/1.1/1.1/1.1/1.1/1.1/1.1/1.1/1.1/1.1/1.1/1.1/1.1/1.1/1.1/1.1/1.1/1.1/1.1/1.1/Getting-started/blah
I thought maybe my redirect regex was too general and could be causing that loop, so I tried a more specific one:
redirects:
/(Getting-started.*): '/1.1/$1'
Again this works for “Getting-started” pages that exist, but if the page doesn’t exist it triggers the ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS
error again.
Is it possible to do what I’m trying to do? To have a redirect like this without losing the general 404 functionality on urls which match the regex but don’t have a page?
Thanks in advance!
