Remove some keywords from the url

[tomoioaga]

Hi,
recently I shortened some extremely long URL's like
www.site.com/some-path-here/some-other- ... /index.php

to
www.site.com/some-path-here/some-other- ... /index.php

unfortunately, some incoming links are now getting 404's
how to fix this?
the number of levels ("/") in the url's vary, the only constant is the "-and-some-nasty-keyword" which should be removed.

Thanks a LOT for the help guys.

Try

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^(.+/)?[^/]+-and-some-nasty-keyword/((.+/)?index\.php)$ /$1$2 [R=301,L]
