Hello,
I wanted to rewrite this url
news/any\_file-name-1-9?utm\_source=feedburner&utm\_medium=feed&utm\_campaign=Feed%3A+homeinteriors+(Design+Interior)
To
news/any\_file-name-1-9.html
I wrote
* * *
location = /news {
if ($args ~ ^ utm\_source) {
set $args “”;
}
}
* * *
OR
* * *
location ~\* ^.+.(htm|html)$ {
if ($args != “”) {
set $args “”;
}
* * *
But it doesn’t work
Can anyone help me? Let me know what I’m doing wrong 😕
