Create Ghost CMS Redirects From Old WordPress URLs

Simple one line REGEX to create WP url directs in Ghost CMS.

Table of contents

Ghost redirects can be created in JSON or YAML, I did mine with regex and the latter.

You only need one 301 redirect in your redirects.yaml file:

301:
    ^\/[0-9]+\/[0-9]+\/[0-9]+\/(.+): https://your-domainhere.com/$1

This will match the /year/month/day/ (or variation there-of) standard and put the ending part directly to the domain.

💡
Note: You may have to restart your Ghost instance to get the redirects to work and try it in a new/different browser (or in incognito/private mode).
