How to 301 all urls except homepage and one other url to homepage in nginx

  • 772

I've recently reduced a site from a huge wordpress blog to a single page (homepage) and one other page.

I'd like to 301 redirect all pages which aren't the homepage or /confirmed to the homepage. I've tried a few things, but they all end in a redirect loop. Here is what I have in my conf.

Thanks for the help!

location / {
   try_files $uri $uri/ $uri/index.php?$args;
}

location /confirmed {
   try_files $uri $uri/ /confirm-user.php?$args;
}

With this config, all other urls are going to the homepage, but it's not a 301.

linux web-server nginx

  1. I believe this will do your bidding:

        location ~ "^/$" {
            try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
    }

    location ~ "^/confirmed$" {
            try_files $uri $uri/ /confirm-user.php?$args;
    }

    location / {
            return 301 /index.php;
    }

  2. This should do the trick:

    location = / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}

location = /confirmed {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /confirm-user.php?$args;
}

location / {
    return 301 /;
}

    First location matches the root path and only root path.

    Second block matches the /confirmed and only /confirmed.

    Last location matches all other URLs, triggering the redirect.

    Further information can be found in nginx core module documentation
