rewriting url in .htaccess with a wordpress

Question

i want to change these urls on a site called https://greennutritionguides.dk . I have found out that this can be done via a rewrite in a .htaccess file. However so far i have been unsuccesful with what i have found here on stack, and other sites.

I want these urls changed:

greennutritionguides.dk/shop-4/ to greennutritionguides.dk/shop

and greennutritionguides.dk/services-2/ to greennutritionguides.dk/service

greennutritionguides.dk/member-receipes-2/ to greennutritionguides.dk/opskrifter

this site is a wordpress site and has a .htaccess file that looks like this:

## EXPIRES CACHING ##
#<IfModule mod_expires.c>
#ExpiresActive On
#ExpiresByType image/jpg "access 1 year"
#ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access 1 year"
#ExpiresByType image/gif "access 1 year"
#ExpiresByType image/png "access 1 year"
#ExpiresByType text/css "access 1 month"
#ExpiresByType text/html "access 1 month"
#ExpiresByType application/pdf "access 1 month"
#ExpiresByType text/x-javascript "access 1 month"
#ExpiresByType application/x-shockwave-flash "access 1 month"
#ExpiresByType image/x-icon "access 1 year"
#ExpiresDefault "access 1 month"
#</IfModule>
## EXPIRES CACHING ##
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

RewriteRule    ^shop-4/$    shop   

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /gdk/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

</IfModule>

Answer 1

Put the following code in start of your .htaccess before everything else

Redirect 301 https://greennutritionguides.dk/shop-4/ https://greennutritionguides.dk/shop
Redirect 301 https://greennutritionguides.dk/services-2/ https://greennutritionguides.dk/service
Redirect 301 https://greennutritionguides.dk/member-receipes-2/ https://greennutritionguides.dk/opskrifter

Answer 2

Please follow steps for redirecting URLs

Step-1: Take backup of your .htaccess file

Step-2: Replace your entire .htaccess file with following code and save it.

#BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^shop-4(/.*)?$ https://greennutritionguides.dk/shop/ [L,R=301,NC]
RewriteRule ^services-2(/.*)?$ https://greennutritionguides.dk/service/ [L,R=301,NC]
RewriteRule ^member-receipes-2(/.*)?$ https://greennutritionguides.dk/opskrifter [L,R=301,NC]
RewriteBase /gdk/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /gdk/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
#END WordPress

Step-3: Clear cache of your browser and then check it.
