want to redirect some links from oldsite to new one and doing like this: 

Redirect 301 /benefits  http://newsite.com/our-differiantiators/
Redirect 301 /benefits/our-people http://newsite.com/about-us/
Redirect 301 /benefits/our-places http://newsite.com/infrastucture/
Redirect 301 /benefits/our-platforms    http://newsite.com/infrastucture/
Redirect 301 /benefits/our-experience http://newsite.com/
Redirect 301 /benefits/our-testimonials http://newsite.com/

but if i try to go to my newsite.com/benefits/our-people it redirecting to newsite.com/our-differiantiators/our-people not newsite.com/about-us

how should I fix my .htaccess code to redirect like I want?

P.S. maybe it's because slug /our-people and /our-differiantiators and wordpress somehow is handling that?

    If you remove the first like, it works OK? Try that (to see what's going on), and then try changing it by this line: `RedirectMatch /benefits$ http://newsite.com/our-differiantiators/ [R=301,L]` – ishegg Feb 13 '18 at 15:04
  • nope.. it's not working.. it still redirects me to `newsite.com/our-differiantiators/our-people` ... mybe it's because slug `our-people` and `our-differiantiators` and somehow wordpress is handling that? – Scorpioniz Feb 13 '18 at 15:12
  • @ishegg no [R=301,L] with RedirectMatch it is mod_alias – Mohammed Elhag Feb 13 '18 at 15:13

change this line :

Redirect 301 /benefits  http://newsite.com/our-differiantiators/

by this :

RedirectMatch  301 /benefits/$  http://newsite.com/our-differiantiators/

With RedirectMatch you will match only benefits/ ,ended with slash, directory when it comes alone otherwise the other rules will work

Try to write: Redirect 301 /benefits http://newsite.com/our-differiantiators/ at the end of file;

Or you can change the first line with: RedirectMatch ^/benefits$ http://newsite.com/our-differiantiators/

  • Remove from the beginning and add at the end. I tried and it works, you saved the .htacceess file? – vpalade Feb 13 '18 at 15:07
