To fix a 3xx redirect using the .htaccess file, you can add a rewrite rule to redirect the old URL to the new URL. Here is an example of how you can achieve this:

  1. Open your .htaccess file in a text editor.
  2. Add the following line of code to create a 301 redirect from the old URL to the new URL:
1
Redirect 301 /old-url https://www.example.com/new-url


Replace "/old-url" with the old URL that needs to be redirected and "https://www.example.com/new-url" with the new URL that it should be redirected to.

  1. Save the .htaccess file and upload it to your website's root directory.


Once you have added this redirect rule to your .htaccess file, anyone who tries to visit the old URL will be automatically redirected to the new URL. This helps maintain SEO rankings and ensures that users are directed to the correct page.
