Could you please help me to write .htaccess rewrite rule that will rewrite one string in URL to another (in this case user -> profile):

It should be like this to work

It should also change all “user” words to “profile”, not just the first.

I have tried with the following code but it is not working for some reason:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^user=([^&]*) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %{REQUEST_URI}?profile=%1 [R=301,L]

Please assist. Thank you all in advance.
