Problem using RegEx was created by bettabi
Hi!

I would like to set a canonical url using regular expression (but I can't figure it out):

I've tried to set /blog/*$ in url and /attivita/*$ in canonical (see image) but it's not working.
For example, no canonical url in this link: www.skipperclub.it/it/blog/1-maggio-vela-a-capraia.html

Can you help me with this issue?

Thank you!

Hi,
the canonical field must be an absolute URL. It can contains macros to build it dynamically, but cannot contains regular expressions (as you are trying to do).

Can you tell me which should be the canonical for:

www.skipperclub.it/it/blog/1-maggio-vela-a-capraia.html

I guess:

www.skipperclub.it/it/attivita/1-maggio-vela-a-capraia.html

Right?

Just set canonical filed as:
http://{siteurl}/${lang}/attivita/${subpath}

And add this to placeholders:
lang={preg_match 1}/^.*\/([^\/]+)\/blog\//i{/preg_match}
subpath={preg_match 1}/\/blog\/(.*\.html)/i{/preg_match}

Not tested, so not sure it works at first try... :)

Kind regards,
Luigi

Thank you for your help but...

I still can't see canonical url in source code of my page: www.skipperclub.it/it/blog/1-maggio-vela-a-capraia.html

Is the url set correctly?
/blog/*$
