Aliases for tag names

support
1

I have tag name with url e.g. https://***/subject/tagnameabcnew.

/subject/ is used instead /tags/.

this tag has its own page in /content/tags/tagnameabcnew/_index.md

I set “Aliases” with old tag name urls like:

  • /subject/tagnameabc/
  • /subject/anothersimilartagname/

When I open older url there should be redirection to the current “tagnameabcnew”, but instead the empty taxonomy page with old tag name is displayed.

sitemap:
    changefreq: weekly
    priority: 0.9
title: Some Title
date: a date
draft: false
slug: tagnameabcnew
aliases:
- /subject/tagnameabc/
- /subject/anothertagname/

That should be _index.md (with an underscore). Taxonomy and term pages are lists.

yes there is underscore _index.md

How are you changing the permalink? In site config or in front matter. Either way, please provide example.

This setup works as expected (requires v0.115.0 or later):

git clone --single-branch -b hugo-forum-topic-47779 https://github.com/jmooring/hugo-testing hugo-forum-topic-47779
cd hugo-forum-topic-47779
hugo server

I change the permalink in site config:

permalinks:
  tags: /subject/:slug

Test the example above using v0.115.0.

I use Hugo 0.117.0

It seems only 1st alias work, 2nd and 3rd doesn’t.

I am unable to reproduce the problem. Please pull changes from my previous example… works as expected.

Tested with v0.117.0 and v0.121.2.

Problem solved. It was my mistake.
