Creating Blog Redirects

If you plan to replace an old blog post with an updated version and make sure that the old links still work, use the following process

Create a new blogpost

Just copy the old index.md and index_de.md files to a new folder with the right date (e.g., today). Rewrite the blog post as needed.

Update the old blog post

Your old blog post will still have the following structure at the top of the md files:

---
page-title: "QR Code scanned but no test result in the Corona-Warn-App"
page-description: "QR Code scanned but no test result in the Corona-Warn-App"
page-name: notes-qr-codes
page-name_de: notes-qr-codes
author: Janina Hoerdt
layout: blog
---

replace this with the following:

---
redirect: {date of new blogpost}-{page-name of new blogpost}
page-name: {page-name-of-old-blogpost}
---

For an example, see here.

It is important to keep the page name of the old blogpost (you can use the same one for the new post, though), otherwise the links will not be properly generated.
