Question

I’m working with a redirection plugin in WordPress that accepts regex and I want to 301 an entire directory to something new.

http://www.example.com/tag/exampletag1/ &
http://www.example.com/tag/exampletag2/

to

http://www.example.com/music/exampletag1/ &
http://www.example.com/music/exampletag2/

Is this possible? There are quite a few tags so I don’t want to do this manually. Would this be easier to do in the htaccess file?

Anything that will get me going in the right direction is great.

Answer 1

The following ruleset in .htaccess would redirect /tag/ to /music/

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/tag/(.*) /music/$1 [R=301]

[R=301] indicates an external redirect with HTTP status code 301.
