i would like to make redirection 301 in htaccess for wordpress post to my home page

exemple work: old post = https://www.example.com/keywordkeyworkeyword/

RedirectPermanent /keywordkeyworkeyword/ https://www.example.com

but for some articles I don't have the end of the url !

exemple no work: old post = https://www.example.com/keywordkeyworkeywordKey...

RedirectPermanent /keywordkeyworkeywordKey(.*)$ https://www.example.com

CodePudding user response：

The RedirectPermanent (mod_alias) directive does not take a regex, it uses simple prefix matching.

You need to use RewriteRule (mod_rewrite) near the top of your .htaccess, before the existing WordPress directives.

For example:

RewriteRule ^keywordkeyworkeywordKey https://www.example.com/ [QSD,R=301,L]

The above redirects any URL that starts /keywordkeyworkeywordKey to the homepage (root URL).

Test first with a 302 (temporary) redirect to avoid caching issues. You'll need to clear your browser cache before testing.
