Moving Ghost posts under URL prefix
Suppose you want your pages to show up under /{slug}
but want posts to show
up under /post/{slug}
. Ghost allows you to do this using the dynamic
routing feature. The routes.yaml
you want will look like this:
routes:
collections:
/:
permalink: /post/{slug}/
template: index
taxonomies:
tag: /tag/{slug}/
author: /author/{slug}/
The only way that differs from the default is that the default permalink is /{slug}. Documentation is here: https://ghost.org/docs/api/v3/handlebars-themes/routing/collections/
My understanding is that the default collection remains under /
, but now
the URLs of each element in the collection is prefixed with /post/
. That’s
all fine and good, but pages will remain under /{slug}
; incidentally,
that’s exactly what I want, but nowhere in that routes.yaml
is it clear
that that’s what’ll happen. What’s more interesting is the question of how one
would change that. Suppose you want pages to be under /page/{slug}
. The
documentation doesn’t mention the use case.
