Moving to a subdirectory

Developer help
1

Hi,

I want to have the current version of “volleybrains.com” in a subdirectory…probably something like “volleybrains.com/masterclass”.

Reason → I want a decent landing page on “volleybrains.com”, I CAN design in Webflow and not in Ghost so that’s how I’ll need to do that.

The site is hosted on https://volleybrains.ongloat.com/

How do I go about doing this without messing up? Are there tutorials available about just that?

You’ll need to change the blog URL in Ghost to https://volleybrains.com/masterclass (url in config.production.json, and edit your Nginx config, so the location matches, i.e., location /masterclass {.

In addition, you’ll need to set redirects for existing pages and posts etc., so inbound traffic lands on the correct page. This needs to be done in Nginx. Something like this.

if ($request_uri !~ /masterclass/) {
    rewrite ^ https://volleybrains.com/masterclass permanent;
}

Edit: If you are creating the landing post with Ghost, then you can use Routes to move posts and archives under /masterclass, and create the landing page in your theme. All other pages will be off the root folder. Then, redirects may be handled in Ghost, e.g., redirects.json
