I have moved my site from www.site.com/shop/ subfolder to root. Now the "shop" folder doesn't exist anymore and I would like to redirect people who still go to site.com/shop/whateverhtml to site.com/whateverhtml I have tried different Rewrite rules but with no luck.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule %{REQUEST_URI} ^/shop/.*
RewriteRule shop/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,L]
or like this
RedirectMatch 301 ^/shop/$ http://site.com/
Thanks.
Redirecting
This requires you make an empty shop folder.
In the folder, create an HTML file called index.html. Users will be directed here when visiting http://site.com/shop.
In that file, put this:
<html>
<head>
<title>Redirecting...</title>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://site.com/">
</head>
<body>
You are being redirected...
</body>
</html>
This will redirect them to http://site.com/.
Framing
You can show another page on the page with an <iframe>. An <iframe> shows another page, within the same page, without redirecting. You still have to keep the shop folder. In it, put index.html with this content:
<html>
<head>
<title>Shop</title>
</head>
<body>
<iframe src="http://site.com/"></iframe>
</body>
</html>
This will create a page with an iframe of site.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/shop(/.*)?$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %1 [R=301,L]
or
RewriteRule ^shop(/.*)?$ $1 [R=301,L]
