    Hello

    I've modified my old website, and now need to remove the phrase "cheap-products"

    Some example url's

    randomdomain.com/product-1000-cheap-products/
    randomdomain.com/product-1001-cheap-products/
    randomdomain.com/product-1002-cheap-products/

    How do I make it so it will forward (seo wise) to the following

    randomdomain.com/product-1000/
    randomdomain.com/product-1001/
    randomdomain.com/product-1002/

    Thanks in anticipation!Q

    Just redirect the url (301) i.e best. There are some other method also. But some features stopped working, like in SMF, WordPress etc

    Hi,
    Your .htaccess file:

    RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^/product-([0-9]+)-([-a-zA-Z]+)/$ /product-$1/
    Code (markup):
    Please test and let me know if it doesn't work.

    Add the following lines to your .htaccess file:

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule ^(.*)-cheap-products(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,L]
