Another permalink question - using a regex

Glad you got it! If I’d done your migration all of those links would still work.

What you really want to do is to add a permalink for /questions/stop-syncing that points to the new topic – Stop Syncing - General Questions - Exalate

But if you’re lucky, and the slugs match, you can make your permalink work for most of them. Something like:

/questions\/\d*?(.*)/t/-/\1

(I can never quite remember exactly how and when to escape those slashes, but that might be right) should make

URLs like https://community.exalate.com/questions/20123204/stop-syncing turn into /t/-/stop-syncing, which will work for most of them. Sometimes the old slug and the Discourse slug might not match up. You can ignore those or create permalinks for those.

When I first read this I read it as “not been migrated”.

If you have a list of old/new URLs, you can create all those permalinks.

We can help you load that directly on the backend if you want.

That’s also interested - thanks for the offer.
Let me check if we can get this to you easily.
