How to Exclude Cache with Page Paths

You’re correct, the regular expression /^\/exclude-directory.*/ will exclude the pages listed above. It will also exclude the first level page, such as yourwebsite.com/exclude-directory/.

Thank you. How do I change the expression so it does not exclude the first level page?

In other words, I want to exclude the following:

mywebsite.com/exclude-directory/page1/
mywebsite.com/exclude-directory/page2/
mywebsite.com/exclude-directory/page3/

But not exclude “mywebsite.com/exclude-directory/” from being cached.

Also, is there a guide that I can read to learn more about creating these expressions?

You’re welcome! That could be done with the regular expression /^\/exclude-directory\/.+/ instead (https://regex101.com/r/k19zFv/1).

PHP uses PCRE syntax. There are many resources available online that you can learn more about how to create regular expressions. A great place to start would be the PHP docs (https://www.php.net/manual/en/reference.pcre.pattern.syntax.php). I’m always happy to help answer any questions about these.

Thank you so much. Will definitely checkout the resource.

You’re very welcome, @nomadandinlove. Happy to have been able to assist.
