How to remove /blog from urls

[dure-jay]

Hello,

I deployed the codebase to Vercel and I'm using blog.domainname.com. The blog is automatically exposed as blog.domainname.com/blog, how can I remove /blog and use / as root instead?

You can delete pages/index.js and then rename pages/blog.js to pages/index.js so that /blog will be your new / page

If you want to get rid of the /blog in each posts and pages, you can do the following:

1. Move pages/blog/page/[...slug].js to pages/[...slug].js
2. Move pages/blog/page/[page].js to pages/page/[page].js
3. Go to ListLayout.js and remove /blog from <Link href={'/blog/${slug}'} on line 66
4. You will also have to fix the import errors from moving the files

Hope this helps!

Thanks Dale, unfortunately it does not work as expected. The blog can be accessed via /blog and /, I want to get rid of /blog really. I replaced /blog with / in a few files now and the href of the blog post redirects to blog.domain.com/blog-post-name-here <http://domain.com/blog-post-name-here> but it’s not accessible. I think it is related to the router or something, I’m not sure. However, I can still access the blog post via blog.domain.com/blog/blog-post-name-here <http://blog.domain.com/blog/blog-post-name-here>.

@dure-jay are you sure you followed the steps I wrote? It's just moving files around and it works for me.

http://domain.com/blog-post-name-here is not accessible because you haven't moved pages/blog/page/[...slug].js to pages/[...slug].js
