I have a Wordpress site that is currently serving AMP pages to mobile visitors.
I’d like to redirect all AMP pages (i.e. https://mysite.com/page/amp/ ) to no AMP pages (i.e. https://mysite.com/page/ ) in order to be able to remove the AMP pluing without loosing traffic.
For some reason whatever I try to modify my config file nothing changes.
My curreny configuration is as follow:
server { listen 80 default_server; listen [::]:80 default_server; root /var/www/html; index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html; location / { rewrite ^(.)$ /$1$2 redirect; rewrite ^(./)amp/$ $1 permanent; try_files $uri $uri/ =404; }
What i’m doing wrong? Thank you

Thanks for the clarification. I have tried also this rewrite option, but it’s still not working: amp pages keep showing up as before I have refreshed caches, of course.
For WordPress, instead of:
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
… you’d generally want to use:
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
When you have the =404 at the end, you’re essentially telling NGINX that if a directory or file does not exist, throw a 404 error. Since WordPress uses permalinks, the vast majority of the URL’s are not going to exist as files or directories, so the end result is a 404.
For example:
domain.com/category/this-really-cool-post/
If /category/ doesn’t exist as a directory or file, it’s a 404. If /category/ does exist as a directory but /this-really-cool-post doesn’t exist as a directory or file, it’s a 404.
…
As for the rewrite, you might be able to try something like:
rewrite ^/amp(.*) http://$server_name/$1 permanent;
