For people migrating existing published content to Hugo theres a good chance
|
|
|
|
|
you need a mechanism to handle redirecting old urls.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Luckily, this can be handled easily with aliases in Hugo.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
|
**content/posts/my-awesome-blog-post.md**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
|
aliases:
|
|
|
|
|
- /posts/my-original-url/
|
|
|
|
|
- /2010/even-earlier-url.html
|
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now when you go to any of the aliases locations they
|
|
|
|
|
will redirect to the page.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Important Behaviors
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. *Hugo makes no assumptions about aliases. They also don't change based
|
|
|
|
|
on your UglyUrls setting. You Need to provide a relative path and the
|
|
|
|
|
complete filename or directory.*
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. *Aliases are rendered prior to any content and will be overwritten by
|
|
|
|
|
any content with the same location.*
