Wet-boew: Broken URLs

[jkshapiro]

Hi there,

I had a link to https://wet-boew.github.io/wet-boew-styleguide/v4/design/buttons-en.html that used to work. It looks as though it's been changed to https://wet-boew.github.io/wet-boew-styleguide/design/buttons-en.html

Would it be possible please to set up a permanent redirect (HTTP 301) for the pages that used to be in the /v4 subfolder?

Permanent redirect is not that simple since the repo was changed to Jekyll (a static page renderer using GitHub pages).

Instead I created a PR for a custom 404 error file (https://github.com/wet-boew/wet-boew-styleguide/pull/373)

The error page be same as https://wet-boew.github.io/wet-boew/404, but instead the home page button directs the user to the style guide home page.

You can also learn more about the update at https://github.com/wet-boew/wet-boew-styleguide/pull/364.

Thank you very much for the quick response.

Not a problem the 404 error is now active.

Wait... maybe one can do redirects on GitHub with Jekyll:

You have to create a page for every redirect. Not feasible.

It basically relies on <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=URL" /> due to GitHub restrictions (but automated).
