Redirect rules targeting subdirectories of various levels-CodePudding

I'm trying to write a couple rules that will be dependent on the number of subdirectory levels present in a url. I have one rule that works for part of what I want, and another for the other part, but the cause conflicts with each other.

The rules and what they do:

This rule would take a URL like this: website.com/base/{WILDCARD}

and forward it to this: website.com/{WILDCARD}

RewriteRule ^base/(.*)$ /$1 [L,NC,R=301]

This rule would take a URL like this: website.com/base/{WILDCARD}/{WILDCARD2}

and forward it to this: website.com/{WILDCARD2}

RewriteRule ^base/([^/] )/(.*)$ /$2 [L,NC,R=301]

These rules should only go into effect if "base" is in the URL

any help is greatly appreciated!

CodePudding user response：

You can handle all these redirect by capturing last path component in URI:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^(?:procedures|gallery)/(?:. /)?([^/] /?)$ /$1 [L,NE,NC,R=302]

Once you verify it is working fine, replace R=302 to R=301. Avoid using R=301 (Permanent Redirect) while testing your mod_rewrite rules.

Here is a regex demo to demonstrate regex used above.
