Redirection with sub domain

Publishing help Project settings
1

Hello,

I have a blog on Medium with a custom subdomain (blog.mysite.com/article) and I want to transfer this blog to Webflow :slight_smile: My blog will on my main domain (mysite.com/blog/article).

I have seen that I can add a subdomain but I am not sure I can create redirect from that sub domain to my new domain for each specific page.

Someone has the answer ? Or a workaround to make it possible ?

Thanks

Hello!
Did you find a solution to this?

Using Eveillard’s example above,

Webflow’s redirects do not support domains in the redirect-from, so you cannot distinguish these as blog-specific requests.

However if your DNS is running on a service like Cloudflare, you can use cloudflare rules specifically to redirect e.g. https://blog.mysite.com/* to https://www.mysite.com/blog/*.

Then you don’t even add the subdomain to Webflow. The redirect occurs before Webflow ever receives the request.

It will be important though that your blog-item slugs match the original article paths if you want a seamless transition. In cases where this is not possible, you should be able to;

  • Do a redirect map in Webflow from https://www.mysite.com/blog/OLD-NAME to https://www.mysite.com/blog/NEW-NAME, for each article.
  • Build an intelligent 404 page that helps the user find the article they were looking for via the site search feature.
