Hi,
We are launching a new product with a vanity domain that’s easier to remember, but we want to have it direct to the proper place on our web site. I’ve created a separate virtual server on the site – we’ll call that wpredirect.abc.com – and under that domain are multiple vanity/landing domains that will be used to get the word out.
https://SmartSpacerDividers.com
https://SmartSpacerDivider.com
and we want those to redirect to:
https://tech-minded.com/smart-spacers/
and that’s easy with a simple setup:
Source URL path: /
Destination: https://tech-minded.com/smart-spacers/
The problem is that I’d like for the redirect to also handle trailing slashes, as well as further extensions to the URL. For example:
https://SmartSpacerDividers.com
https://SmartSpacerDividers.com/
https://SmartSpacerDividers.com?ref=helloworld
https://SmartSpacerDividers.com/?ref=helloworld
https://SmartSpacerDividers.com/faq?ref=helloworld
https://SmartSpacerDividers.com/faq/?ref=helloworld
would go to, respectively:
https://tech-minded.com/smart-spacers
https://tech-minded.com/smart-spacers/
https://tech-minded.com/smart-spacers?ref=helloworld
https://tech-minded.com/smart-spacers/?ref=helloworld
https://tech-minded.com/smart-spacers/faq?ref=helloworld
https://tech-minded.com/smart-spacers/faq/?ref=helloworld
Furthermore, for that to work with and without the www, as well as HTTP versions.
I’m struggling with the regex for this, and can’t seem to get it figured out. The closest I get is the straight / redirecting, but that makes these not work quite right because of trailing spaces. Here’s what I found:
Works fine:
Source URL: ttps://smartspacerdividers.com/
Became Target URL: https://tech-minded.com/smart-spacers/
Source URL: https://smartspacerdividers.com
Became Target URL: https://tech-minded.com/smart-spacers/
Added path does NOT work:
Source URL: https://smartspacerdividers.com/faq
Became Target URL: https://tech-minded.com/smart-spacers/
Source URL: https://smartspacerdividers.com/faq/
Became Target URL: https://tech-minded.com/smart-spacers/
Parameters work, but incorrect trailing slash:
Source URL: https://smartspacerdividers.com?ref=helloworld
Became Target URL: https://tech-minded.com/smart-spacers/?ref=helloworld/
Source URL: https://smartspacerdividers.com/?ref=helloworld
Became Target URL: https://tech-minded.com/smart-spacers/?ref=helloworld/
Any ideas on the right regex pattern to match and replace?
Thanks!
Neil
