How to redirect my URLs using htaccess 301 conditional

Question

I need help redirecting my old URL to a new URL.

They URLS are structured as required.

My OLD URL is something like domain.com/category/123-title-of-article.html, where category is the category name and 123 is the Post ID

The NEW URLs are (and this is how I want them to redirect): domain.com/article/title-of-article-123/, where article will remain as it is in all URLS, and the post ID will go to end of the URL

How I can achieve this?

Answer 1

This should work for you:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)/([0-9]+)-(.*).html$ /article/$3-$2/ [R=301,L]

It should change domain.com/category/123-title-of-article.html to domain.com/article/title-of-article-123/

Answer 2

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/?category/(\d+)-(.+)\.html$ /article/$2-$1/ [L,R=301]

Also, you already have the rewrite rules to handle your new URL, right?
