Life Saver Plugin so far. Simple Regex Question

Assuming your actual configuration is generating paginated results as

/category/ooo/page/2/ etc

You could try this:

source: /category/xxx/yyy/(.*)
target: /category/ooo/$1

Hi @fohteh,

I’m not an expert either, just trying to help with the little I know 🙂

With the regex I suggested above, the (.*) is a capture group, that will capture anything after /category/xxx/yyy/ until the end of the line and pass it along to the $1 element on the target. So it should redirect as follows:

source: /category/xxx/yyy/(.*)
target: /category/ooo/$1

/category/xxx/yyy/page/2/ will be redirected to
/category/ooo/page/2/

/category/xxx/yyy/page/3/ will be redirected to
/category/ooo/page/3/

and so on. I’m just following the examples you gave initially, but you’d should check if the redirects work as expected and report back, if you wish, with more details if there’s any problem.

H, @fohteh,

I don’t believe WordPress generates a /page/1/ URL, the pagination starts with page 2.

/category/abc/ <<< this is page 1
/category/abc/page/2/
/category/abc/page/3/
etc.

So for the specific category provided, I’d try:

source: /category/egirme/elyaf/page/(*.)
target: /category/egirme/page/$1
