Hi,

My intention is to redirect my permalink post from

http://domain.com/postname/
to
http://domain.com/category/postname/

I’ve use below expression, unfortunately it apply to all my post (other category) and also Page URL (http://domain.com/pagename/).
```
Source: ^/(?!category)(.*)
Target: /category/$1
```
Is there a best way to redirect such permalink?

Thank you.

Best.

There is no good way of matching only posts with a regular expression. You will need to match each post individually.

Thanks John

There is a permalink migration feature (https://redirection.me/support/site-options/) but it doesn’t work for this particular combination. It may do in the future, but right now there is no other solution – you cannot derive the category purely from the URL, and migrating the permalink is tricky and not fully working.
