Redirecting a #!

[TheJuniperStudio]

I have the following redirect in my netlify.toml file.

[[redirects]]
from = “/#!/*”
to = “/auction/#!/:splat”

But the redirects aren’t working on my live site.
Other redirects are working fine and it says the redirects are processed but it looks as though there is something stopping #!'s from redirecting properly.

Hi @TheJuniperStudio

In short, the redirect won’t work.

Redirects URLs containing hashbangs

Hi Titus, No way to circumvent the issue. the “#” in URL’s means “the browser handles this” - so our server never even sees the rest of that path - we get: https://yoursite.com/ for a URL like https://yoursite.com/#anything-here-is-never-sent You’d potentially be able to do a client side redirect - I think the browser is aware that the URL contains it and so you could parse it from there and send a 301 from the client side JS.
