Help creating redirect for all sub pages as a wild card?

  • Hi all, i’m hoping someone might be able to help me. I’m trying to create a Regex redirect and I haven’t been able to figure it out.

    old URLs: oldurl.com/forum/something1
    old URLs: oldurl.com/forum/something2
    old URLs: oldurl.com/forum/something3
    old URLs: oldurl.com/forum/something etc.

    I wanted to create a single redirect that sends anything from oldurl.com/forum/ to a single page like newurl.com/no-more-forum.

    By any chance does anyone know how to do this? I tried a wild card * but that only replaces the address up to the “somethinge” address.

    Any help would be great! thanks in advance.

  • Check the Regular Expression checkbox then add this to the Source URL field:
    /forum.*

    That should grab everything that has forum/anything in the URL and redirect it to wherever you want.

    This is not working for me – would you please advise?

    I have a bunch of listings from the MLS that look like this

    /property/mls-*

    I want them all to redirect to

    Yeah, that didn’t work for me either. This is what happens when I use the Regular Expression:

    This is what I have:
    oldurl.com/forum* -> newurl.com/nomoreforum

    This is what happens:

    oldurl.com/forum/something1 redirects to newurl.com/nomoreforum/something1 which then fails and gets a 404.

    @snorwood:
    is ‘.’ you listed in your example the difference and if so why do i need the ‘.’?

    any updates on this? did anyone get it to work?

    actually this works

    /directory-name/(.*?)$

    i found this even better
    /directory-name(.*?)$

    as it gets the direct URL itself too (for what i needed)

    and of course click the option “regular expression”
