htaccess redirect after forum move

[grantus]

What would be the redirect to put in my htaccess for my forum move? Right now my forum is in the root (public_html), and I'm moving it to the "forums" folder (public_html/forums).

I want to make sure all threads are redirect properly.

Thanks.

Simple redirection should solve the problem, example:

RedirectMatch 301 /threads/(.*) /forums/threads/$1

Ah, thank you!

RedirectMatch 301 /threads/(.*) /forums/threads/$1

I assume if you were going to move your forum out of /forums/ and into the root, you could simply reverse that.

RedirectMatch 301 /forums/threads/(.*) /threads/$1

I should point out that redirect will only work for that route (/threads).

For example, if you were moving from the /community directory to the root, you would use:

RewriteRule ^community/(.*)?$ /$1 [R=301,L]

For example, if you were moving from the /community directory to the root, you would use:

RewriteRule ^community/(.*)?$ /$1 [R=301,L]

What if the forum installed on a folder /forums/ then moved to the root folder.

RewriteRule ^forums/(.*)?$ /$1 [R=301,L]

Not redirecting correctly forum nodes url's :/
