Redirect old blog URL to new domain

[Benny2]

Hi,

I would like to do the following:

Source: https://info.adimec.com/blogposts/bid/36638/:post-name

Target: https://www.adimec.com/{post-name}

However the 36638 is different for each post. It seems to be a post id used by hubspot before 2014/2015. Can I make one general redirect rule to redirect all posts even if the id is different?

I tried this by looking at some systemgenerated redirect but it doesn't seem to work:

Source: http://info.adimec.com/blogposts/bid/(?P<legacy_id>[\d]+)/:post-name 

Target:  https://www.adimec.com/{post-name}

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Benny2

If I am right, a flexible URL structure should be able to strip out those unecessay and unique post ids. 

Something like this should work -

Source: https://info.adimec.com/blogposts/bid/:id/*rest-of-url

Target: https://www.adimec.com/{rest-of-url}

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

This works. 

I thought all those variables like :id, :post-name, *rest-of-url were pre-defined variables and would direct to a specific blog parameter.
