.htaccess yikes!

Hi guys,
Having a bit of trouble getting a htaccess redirect working. It's very easy but I am making a small typo somewhere!
I want to redirect about 400 product pages located at;
http://domain.com/product/product-name
to
http://domain.com/product-name
..basically just dropping /product/
Any help would be appreciated as my errors in Moz are all over the place!

No problem - that's what this community is all about

Looks the good, thanks for all your help.

mod_rewrite and RedirectMatch are two different ways of doing a 301 redirect - both are fine. You can have both inside a htaccess file, however you may want to place the RedirectMatch directive outside of the call for the mod_rewrite module so after

Thanks for this, appears to work fine!
Is it ok sitting at the end?
BEGIN WordPress
<ifmodule mod_rewrite.c="">RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
RedirectMatch 301 ^/product/(.*)$ http://cdkeyprices.com/$1</ifmodule>END WordPress
#php_flag display_startup_errors on
#php_flag display_errors on
#php_flag html_errors on
#php_value docref_root 0
#php_value docref_ext 0 -
You could use the following RedirectMatch directive in your htaccess file obviously swapping in your actual domain -
RedirectMatch 301 ^/product/(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1
-
I'm sure you don't want to rewrite all the pages 1 at a time, try the following to rewrite the entire folder.
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.)product
RewriteRule ^(.)$ product/$1 [L] -
Hello MrPenguin,
Your code should look similar to this:
Redirect 301 /product/product-name http://domain.com/product-name

Where to put 301 redirects in my Wordpress htaccess file?
I have about 25 301 redirects in my Wordpress htaccess file, that look like this: <code>Redirect301/store/index.html https://www.notesinspanish.com/store-home/</code> At the moment they are at the bottom of my htaccess file, below the usual Wordpress rewrite rules: <code># BEGIN WordPress <ifmodulemod_rewrite.c>RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] # END WordPress</ifmodulemod_rewrite.c></code> So they are below all that. Above my WP rewrite rules I have a number of other rules from plugins (caching, ssl). Are my 301's OK where they are at the very bottom of that file? They are working, and redircting pages correctly. Should they be somewhere else? Many thanks for any help. Thanks for any help.

301 redirect syntax for htaccess
I'm working on some htaccess redirects for a few stray pages and have come across a few different varieties of 301s that are confusing me a bit....Most sources suggest: Redirect 301 /pageA.html http://www.site.com/pageB.html or using some combination of: RewriteRule + RewriteCond + RegEx I've also found examples of: RedirectPermanent /pageA.html http://www.site.com/pageB.html I'm confused because our current htaccess file has quite a few (working) redirects that look like this: Redirect permanent /pageA.html http://www.site.com/pageB.html This syntax seems to work, but I'm yet to find another Redirect permanent in the wild, only examples of Redirect 301 or RedirectPermanent Is there any difference between these? Would I benefit at all from replacing Redirect permanent with Redirect 301?

Why are my URL's with a trailing slash still getting indexed even though they are redirected in the .htaccess file?
My .htaccess file is set up to redirect a URL with a trailing / to the URL without the /. However, my SEOmoz crawl diagnostics report is showing both URL's. I took a look at my Google Webmaster account and saw some duplicate META title issues. Same thing, Google Webmaster is showing the URL with the trailing /. My website was live for about 3 days before I added the code to the .htaccess file to remove the trailing /. Is it possible that in those 3 days that both versions were indexed and haven't been removed even though the .htaccess file has been updated?

Htaccess 301s to 3 different sites
Hi, I'm an htaccess newbie, and I have to redirect and split traffic to three new domains from site A. The original home page has most of the inbound links so I've set up a 301 that goes to site B, the new corporate domain. Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L] Brand websites C and D need 301s for their folders in site A but I have no idea how to write that in relationship to the first redirect, which really is about the home page, contact and only a few other pages. The urls are duplicates except for the new domain names. They're all on Linux..Site A is about 150 pages, should I write it by page, or can I do some kind of catch all (the first 301) plus the two folders? I'd really appreciate any insight you have and especially if you can show me how to write it. Thanks 🙂0
