htaccess - 301 redirect removing part of url

I'm not able to get to work this 301 redirect, i have to remove "BeTa" word from all the request, and redirect:
FROM: http://www.example.com/BeTa/other/content TO: http://www.example.com/other/content

"BeTa" could also be present in other part of url:
FROM: http://www.example.com/bla/BeTa/other/content TO: http://www.example.com/bla/other/content

is it possible? Right now I have only tried the first part:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/BeTa/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,L]

thanks in advance

Solution

  • You can tweak your regex to match BaTa anywhere like this:

    RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.+?/)?BeTa(?:/(.*))?$ /$1$2 [NC,R=301,L]
