Redirecting wordpress urls in a ghost site hosted in Azure

0 Views

I recently switched my blog from wordpress to ghost. In order to keep the old wordpress urls working, I added some rewrite rules.

My wordpress site used the following url formats:

  • /blog/year/month/post-title
  • /blog/index.php/year/month/post-title

Ghost uses the following url format:

  • /post-title

Here’s my main rewrite rule. It works fine for the pattern without index.php, but with index.php, it redirects to /index/. 

<rule name="wordpress to ghost" stopProcessing="true">
    <match url="^blog/(index.php/)?d+/d+/([w-]+)/?" />
    <action type="Redirect" url="{R:2}" />
</rule>

How can I fix this rule to correctly redirect urls with index.php?

  1. I’ve tested this with my own installed instance of Ghost on Azure, but I’m not getting the redirect you are. {R:2} correctly returns the second grouping (slug name).

    However, I do notice that you are not escaping your forward slashes. Try the following: 

        <rule name="wordpress to ghost" stopProcessing="true">
        <match url="^blog/(index.php/)?d+/d+/([w-]+)/?" />
        <action type="Redirect" url="{R:2}" redirectType="Permanent" />
    </rule>
