For people migrating existing published content to Hugo theres a good chance you need a mechanism to handle redirecting old urls.
Luckily, this can be handled easily in a couple of easy steps.
-
Create a special post for the redirect and mark the file as a
redirectfile in the front matter. Here is an examplecontent/redirects/my-awesome-blog-post.md:--- redirect: true slug: /my-awesome-blog-post/ url: /docs/redirects/ ---
2. Set the redirect template `layouts/redirects/single.html`:
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="canonical" href="{{ .Url }}"/>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url={{ .Url }}" />
</head>
</html>
```
Now when you go to `/my-awesome-blog-post/` it will do a meta redirect to
`/docs/redirects/`.
