Redirects are Overriding each other

Question

I am trying to redirect a bunch of uploads from our old website that no longer exist. I have one specific section I wanted to route to a resources page, but the rest will simply redirect to the home page.

/uploads*: redirects to homepage

/uploads/resources*: redirects to resources

The first redirect is overruling the second, and everything in /uploads is redirecting to the home page. Is there a way to make a special exception for this one folder? Through using a regex or something else?

Answer 1

Try swapping the order of your Routes (drag and drop), so that specific resources are routed first and the homepage fallback is positioned second.

Routes are applied in the order the appear in Settings > Routes i.e. If a route criteria is matched then Craft doesn't seem to try the rest.

More info here: https://craftcms.com/docs/routing just in case you haven't seen it already.

Let us know if that helps.
