I'm looking to do a .htaccess redirect for my author URL to a standard user profile URL
I'm looking to redirect https://domainname.com/author/{username} to https://domainname.com/user/{username}
This is what I have at the moment but it doesn't seem to work
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/?author/(.*)$ /user/$1 [R,L]
Any advice would be appreciated
Full htaccess content

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^author/(.*)/?$ /user/$1? [NC,R=301,L]
