Can re-direct from a prefix?

Open msdolbey opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

I may not be understanding this plugin altogether correctly, but I do enjoy using this plugin.

But, my issue is, we have some documentation that has changed location (we changed the name of our app).

How do I use that app name in a URL as a prefix for all the other URLs that are in that directory.

For example, say I have this app: http://www.example.com/docs/cool-app/ We renamed cool-app to professional-app, so I know this will work if I use a redirect here: http://www.example.com/docs/professional-app/

BUT, we moved everything in /cool-app/ to /professional-app/.

Without having to make many redirects for every sub directory/child page, is there a way with this plugin to have everything from http://www.example.com/docs/cool-app/* go to http://www.example.com/docs/professional-app/* Like: http://www.example.com/docs/cool-app/v1/install redirect to http://www.example.com/docs/professional-app/v1/install or docs/cool-app/v1/release-notes/patch-1 to /docs/professional-app/v1/release-notes/patch-1

Thank you.
