I’m needing to redirect all example.com/blog blog posts to example.com/blog/news, eg: example.com/blog/blog-post-name to example.com/blog/news/blog-post-name, and have been trying to do this with nginx rewrite rules.
I’m not trying to redirect a specific URL, I’m trying to match all URLs at example.com/blog/{blog-slug-name-here} and redirect to example.com/blog/news/{blog-slug-name-here}. However a normal nginx rewrite would keep redirecting so you end up going example.com/blog/news/news/news/etc etc…
Hopefully this makes sense, I’d appreciate any help as I can’t seem to find this scenario on any of the online forums?
Many thanks!
