So I don’t normally write web dev stuff on HackerNoon because I’m not a dev at all and don’t want to embarrass myself. However, I was faced with a big issue on my anime and recently that I’m sure others have faced as well; I disabled AMP (for various reasons), so to their non-AMP counterparts. Japan blog my AMP pages were 404ing, and I needed to redirect them In this article, I’ll show you a quick 1-minute fix to redirect ALL your pages in bulk to their non-AMP counterparts. I should note that there are various ways to do this outlined in : Nginx, Apache, and . However, I was taught this fix is way quicker and doesn’t require editing files.

I think the AMP plugin developer needs to fix this. For various reasons, I decided to disable AMP on my site. The AMP plugin auto-generates all your pages into their AMP forms, and Google usually prefers those pages for mobile and indexes the AMP URL. WordPress with that is when you disable the AMP plugin, all the AMP URLs will still be indexed on Google, and when people click them, they will be served a 404 error page or an page. The issue OOPS that can’t be found AMP should auto-redirect all AMP URLs to their regular URL counterparts if the user disables the plugin. But alas, and we’re left with dozens or hundreds of URLs that no longer exist, and we have to redirect them. the plugin doesn’t do that, How to redirect AMP pages one by one So the plugin you’ll need to download (if you don’t already have it) is Redirection by John Godley. And believe me, it is a…godly plugin 😉 The Redirection Plugin In this section, I’ll explain how to redirect single AMP URLs one by one if, for whatever reason, you don’t want to redirect them all. Once you’ve installed the plugin, you should be able to access it on your WP dashboard under tools → redirection: It should look like this: In the , you put the AMP url slug (no need to add your domain) : Source URL /my-post-2/amp/ And the closed bracket / at the end is necessary. In the you need to put your redirect which would be the exact same minus and thus should just be something like . Target URL /amp/ /my-post-2/ Click “add redirect” and you should be done!

How to redirect AMP pages in bulk If you want to redirect ALL your AMP pages in one go, we can use the same plugin as above and it’ll take literally 1 minute or so. Navigate to the Redirection plugin Step 1. Set Regex option Step 2. Input the proper URL expressions Step 3. Add redirect Step 4. . Navigate to the Redirection plugin using the same steps as in the above section This time, click on URL options/Regex. Select Regex. This time, in the , you need to add this expression Source URL ^/(.*?)/amp/$ In the input, this expression Target URL /$1/ Click “add redirect”, and you should be done!

I hope this worked for you because it was super frustrating for me, and I didn’t feel like learning where my htc access file was and then learning how to edit it. Luckily, this plugin makes it easy and doesn’t require any in-depth development knowledge. If that doesn’t work for you, or you know a better way to do this, please comment below! I’m not an expert, but I’d be happy to help you if I can.
