Replace part of a URL with .htaccess

Question

I had to change the name of a subpage and now the problem is that all shared links on Facebook, Twitter, etc. are not working anymore.

That's why I am trying to redirect only a part of a URL with .htaccess but I have no solution yet.

It should work like this:

www.mydomain.com/feeds/details/ --> www.mydomain.com/highlights/details/

I hope you can help me!

It will depend on your server but you are looking for something along these lines

    //Rewrite to www
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com[nc]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [r=301,nc]

//301 Redirect Entire Directory
RedirectMatch 301 /feeds(.*) /highlights/$1

In my case it goes from: example.com/folder/file to example.com/folderfile ... removing the slash.

In my case is adding an extra / RedirectMatch 301 /states/(.*) /jobs/$1 turns /states/florida ----> /jobs//florida

You can try rewriting the URL using RewriteRule, like follows:

.htaccess

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/feeds/details$ /highlights/details/

Hope, that works for you.

I took your tip and adjusted my reality.

My problem:

https://example.com/contact/example.com

My solution:

RedirectMatch 301 (.*)/example.com(.*) $1/$2

After solution, redirect:

https://example.com/contact/
