Rewriting url of site posts

Lz127

Hi. I'm trying to integrate an old site with automad. And I ran into such a problem. The site is well indexed by search engines. Posts on the site have the extension .html pages do not have such an extension. Is it possible to somehow configure the automad in such a way that the url of the records would have the html extension at the end

Lz127 Hi there! No, unfortunately that‘s not possible. But all pages are automatically added to the sitemap.xml. Search engines use that file to index your site.

Hey. I figured out this problem. It turned out to be easy. I have a similar question now. How do I make sure that the URL of the pages that is generated by the CMS, depending on the name of the page, is rewritten to those that I need? I have a website in Cyrillic and he does not write some addresses exactly as I need.

Я пробовал сделать 301 редирект со старых страниц сайта на новые, так как считаю, что CMS не позволит изменить URL. Таких страниц 5. И подумал перенаправить вручную. И мне это не удалось. По какой-то причине правила в файле ntacess, которые работали у меня на этом сервере в случае Automad, не работают. Ты можешь сказать мне, почему?

RewriteCond% {REQUEST_URI} ^/old-page $
RewriteRule ^. * $ https://site.by/new-page? [R = 301, L]

Hi, can you elaborate a bit more? I’m not really sure whether I understand the issue correctly.

Sorry not in English.
I tried to make a 301 redirect from the old pages of the site to the new pages, because I think that the CMS will not allow changing the URL. There are 5 such pages. And I thought to manually redirect. And I didn't succeed. For some reason, the rules in the .htaccess file that worked for me on this server in the case of Automad do not work. Can you tell me why?

RewriteCond% {REQUEST_URI} ^/old-page $
RewriteRule ^. * $ https://site.by/new-page? [R = 301, L]

The problem is to set up a redirect from old non-existent pages of the site to new pages created using Automad

Lz127 It’s difficult to tell without seeing the whole .htaccess file. But you can also redirect pages in the dashboard without messing with that file. Just create a hidden page with the name of the old page and define the redirect url in the settings.

Thank. It works.

An incomprehensible situation occurs when creating a page called "kuhonny fartuk iz plitki". When creating a page with this name, the progress bar will spin and edit the created page is not possible, but if you look in the file structure of the site, then the corresponding folder with the file appears. I thought that this is a problem with this particular site, I tried to create such a page on another site on Automad, which is located on my hosting, and faced exactly the same problem. Why does this happen?
