.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!

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

.htaccess code
I've got a .htaccess file set up on a site to redirect specific old pages to specific new pages on a different site: eg Redirect 301 /oldpage.html https://www.newsite.co.uk/newpage.html Redirect 301 /oldpage2.html https://www.newsite.co.uk/folder/ I have two questions: 1. Is that all the file needs? Or does it need any "rewrite engine on" type code? 2. I would also like to include code to "mop up" any other URLs and redirect them to the root, so that /anyotherpage.html redirects to newsite.co.uk Is there a way to do this?

.htaccess redirects
I've done some research but can't find a good answer to this question. Here's my situation: Site redirects from example.com to www.example.com just fine. However, it doesn't work so well for internal pages. My site incorrectly redirects (non-www) example.com/page2 to www.example.com when it should instead go to www.example.com/page2 So I need a method to redirect non-www internal pages to www versions. Currently I have this in my .htaccess - do I need to modify the rules? RewriteEngine on

Combining 2 blogs into one. What is quicker, easier and better - rel canonical or an htaccess/ 301?
The objective I have is to archive an entire blog (which I no longer have time to keep up) with multiple posts over 4years , into another blog as a a folder. My question: would it be quicker and easier to do a rel canonical, or separately list all pages in htaccess and do a 301 redirect.

Do I need a 301 redirect on htaccess if Apache is already configured to serve?
Apache is set up to serve both www and non-www versions the same content. Do I still need to put a 301 redirect in the htaccess file?

Limits to 301 in htaccess?
I'm about to launch a redesign of my company's main website, and we've updated most of the URLs to be more user friendly and SEO optimized. I've just finished editing my spreadsheet, and see that I'll need to implement 244 redirects. My question is: Are there performance issues with loading your .htaccess file up with almost 250 301 redirect commands? I've heard a bloated htaccess file can really slow down apache, should I be approaching this a different way, maybe with php?
