GET /wp/?feed=atom

This 301 redirects to the ATOM feed for the site.

I’d planned to use httrack to scrape my site and migrate all the static content. But this presents a problem. Is there any way to replicate the /wp/?foo=bar redirects using Jekyll?

  1. You can use Jekyll redirect_from plugin which is one of the rare plugin that can be used on github pages.

    The only problem is that yoursite.github.io/wp/?foo=bar from the server point of view is yoursite.github.io/wp/index.php?foo=bar. So, any ?foo=bar is resolved to the same file.

    I you have only your xml feed to redirect, this does the trick :

    ---
layout: null
redirect_from:
  - /wp/
---
content ...

    If you have multiple files to redirect, you will have to switch to a javascript solution from a wp/index.html file.
