Using nginx rewrite to remove date from URL

Question

Unsure why this isn't working.

URL: https://example.com/blog/2009/07/23/example redirect to: https://example.com/example

rewrite "^/blog/([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{2})/([0-9]{2})/(.*)" /$5 permanent;

Answer 1

Figured it out :)

location /blog {
rewrite "/([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{2})/([0-9]{2})/(.*)" /$4 permanent;
}
