Can I configure a redirect for an existing blog post?

[tpcarman]

I have made a slight change to the title of an existing blog post. Is it possible to configure a redirection to the updated post using the previously shared link?

I have attempted to use mkdocs-redirects plugin, however I am not having any success.

Hi, I am currently working on examples for the blog plugin and this seems like an interesting case for me to pick up. Can you do me the favour and describe in a bit more detail what you have tried and how it did not work? A minimal repdoduction would be ideal. I will have some time in a few hours to look at this and would like to make sure the example gives you the information you need.

Hi @alexvoss,
Unfortunately I don't have time right now to setup a minimal reproduction however I am happy to provide more detail about my issue. I can likely provide a reproduction in a few days when I have more time.
The issue I have is that a have created a page for a blog post e.g. my-original-blog-post.md in my blog_dir, and now I wish to rename this page e.g. my-renamed-blog-post.md whilst maintaining access via the original blog post link https://www.myblog.com/blog/2023/08/25/my-original-blog-post/

Thanks for the assistance.
