How to Redirect from WordPress (Subdomain) to Webflow

davidghs · July 9, 2021, 12:51pm

Hey all,

So we have a subdomain which lives on WordPress: https://blog.mysite.com
We have our new blog CMS in Webflow: https://mysite.com/library

How can I setup redirects so visitors who hit blog.mysite.com/date-month-year/blog-post can redirected to: mysite.com/library/blog-post

What’s the best process for doing this? I’ve watched the WordPress to Webflow webinar, read previous topics on this matter but I’m still confused as to how this works in this scenario.

Do I need to go to my DNS hosting provider and setup a wildcard there? If so, what’s the correct regex expression to use?

Could use some help here, thanks!!

Redirects are best handled by your web server. How depends on which web server your WP site is hosted on. If its Apache then your redirect rules would be added in your .htaccess file in the root of your web. The internet is full of documentation and guides.
