Removing Part of URL with .htaccess

Question

I have recently removed a module from Magento that created vanity URL, for filtered searches. When I've removed this module its now using URL parameters for all filtered navigation pages.

I want to redirect all of these vanity urls to the same page without the vanity part of the URL.

An example of a URL that I want redirecting is:

/hand-dryers/high-speed/shopby/brand-jet_towel-ultradry-magnum_multi_dri-dyson/handdryer_dryingtime_seconds-under_10_seconds/

Redirecting to

/hand-dryers/high-speed

The way the module worked would be by adding the string "shopby" and then converting each parameter into a readable format.

I need a rewrite rule to re-direct all URLs that contain "shopby" to the same URL but with everything from "shopby" removed

I hope this makes sense. Look forward to hearing back from someone

Answer 1

Should work:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (/.*)/shopby $1 [R=302,L]

After testing you can change the 302 to 301 to ensure the old URLs are pruned from search engine indexes.

Answer 2

尝试这个：

RewriteRule ^(.+?)/shopby/?.*$ $1/shopby [L]
