(Legacy) Wildcards

Use wildcards to show or hide the form Widget on all pages of a subcategory of your website. Wildcards match groups of similar URLs. For example, only show the Drip widget on the "/blog" subdirectory of your site.

Here's an example of a URL containing a subcategory: https://drip.com/blog.

The “blog” subcategory contains a number of blog posts. To show a form Widget on every single blog post contained in that subcategory, apply a wildcard to the URL.

Here's an example of a wildcard for the “/blog” subdirectory: /blog/**

There are two kinds of wildcards:

• Single asterisk(*)
• Double asterisk(**)

Single Asterisk Wildcards

The single asterisk matches an individual URL segment. For example, "/blog/*" matches "/blog/basic but does not match /blog/basic/123".

Double Asterisk Wildcards

The double asterisk(**) wildcard matches one or more URL segments. For example, "/blog/**" matches "/blog/123 and /blog/category/marketing/1234".

Mix Wildcards Together

Here are a few examples of how to mix wildcards together:

Use the single asterisk(*) wildcard in the query string. For example, /blog/**?s=* matches any page under the blog subdirectory with the query string parameter set to anything.

Phrases wrapped in square brackets are interpreted as regular expressions. For example, we will translate [(help|support)] into/(help|support)/ and match it against the current URL in JavaScript. For more information about regular expressions, check out this guide.
