netlify redirect from subdomain to primary custom domain

Hello i have an issue with a subdomain / primary domain on my netlify site

Netlify documentation tells to use a netlify.toml file to make host domain redirects. but the nuxt build creates a _redircts for some nuxt specific logic. And this makes my netlify.toml ignored and wont work.

fx. https://<project-name>.netlify.app to my <primary-domain>.com

So when i go to https://<project-name>.netlify.app it still doenst redirect even if my toml file is in the right syntax.

have anyone encountered this? and do you know the fix?

Hi @Bootsmann. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

----------------------
Nuxt’s generated _redirects_redirects file can indeed override/disable rules from netlify.tomlnetlify.toml if Netlify processes it first. The shared knowledge sources only cover:

General Nuxt/Netlify redirect behavior and ordering (path-based, not host-based). [Netlify redirects]
IP-based redirects and use of Netlify Edge Functions. [Netlify geolocation]

They do not describe how Nuxt’s _redirects_redirects interacts with netlify.tomlnetlify.toml for host-based redirects or how to force netlify.tomlnetlify.toml to take precedence. There’s no explicit guidance in the sources on:

Disabling Nuxt’s _redirects_redirects generation
Merging/overriding host redirects from netlify.tomlnetlify.toml when a Nuxt _redirects_redirects exists
A documented pattern for redirecting project-name.netlify.appproject-name.netlify.app → primary-domain.comprimary-domain.com specifically with Nuxt on Netlify

Because of that, I can’t reliably give you a Nuxt‑specific fix that’s grounded in the provided material.

What the sources do make clear is that redirect rule ordering on Netlify matters: a catch‑all redirect (like /*/* → 404) will shadow everything after it, and moving it to the bottom fixes the problem. [Netlify redirects] This strongly suggests your host redirect must be evaluated before any broad rules Nuxt might be generating in _redirects_redirects.

But beyond that general principle, the knowledge sources don’t contain enough concrete information on how to resolve the _redirects_redirects vs netlify.tomlnetlify.toml precedence issue for host redirects in a Nuxt+Netlify setup.
