Who can help me with regex rule?

If visited page is https://example.com/shop/product then I need to redirect user to https://example.com/product, but if visited page is https://example.com/shop/page/2 I need to do nothing.

There is possibility, that user landed on https://example.com/shop/category/child-category/product and for this example I need to redirect to https://example.com/category/child-category/product

I have already wrote this rule: RewriteRule ^shop/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,L], but this rule redirects user from this page if he is in second or other pages.

  • ok but then how do you define for which URLs you want redirects and for which you don't? Commented May 31, 2022 at 9:22
  • If there is /shop/page/2 then I don't need to redirect, but if user landed on page which is /shop/category/product, then I need to redirect to /category/product. So rule need to check if there is keyword page then do nothing, but if there is then do redirect. Commented May 31, 2022 at 10:00

You can use a negative lookahead condition like this:

RewriteRule ^shop/(?!page/)(.+)$ /$1 [R=301,L,NC]

(?!page/) is a negative lookahead condition that will fail the match if page/ appears after shop/

It works, but I have forgot to mention that there ar possibility, that user landed on https://example.com/shop/category/child-category/product and for this example your rule doesn't redirect to https://example.com/category/child-category/product
ok try my updated rule now.
