To remove part of a URL using .htaccess, you can use the RewriteRule directive along with regular expressions. Here's an example of how you can achieve this:

  1. Open your .htaccess file in the root directory of your website using a text editor.
  2. Add the following line of code to remove a specific part of the URL:
1
2
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^old-part/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,L]


In this example, replace "old-part" with the part of the URL you want to remove. The regular expression "(.*)" represents any characters that come after the specified part of the URL. The $1 in the rewrite destination refers to the matched pattern in the regular expression.

  1. Save the changes to your .htaccess file and test the new configuration by accessing the URL. The specified part of the URL should now be removed.


Note: Remember to backup your .htaccess file before making any changes to it. Additionally, make sure you have mod_rewrite enabled on your server to use the RewriteRule directive.
