Remove directory from URL using

I am moving the Magento website from example.com/shopping to example.com, and I need to redirect all the URLs to the new location 301 (example.com). I assume I can use mod_rewrite in the .htaccess file to create a rewrite rule for this? I tried to learn how to use mod_rewrite, but the syntax is so complicated for me.

There are hundreds of pages to redirect. Example:

http://www.example.com/shopping/product-category-1/product-sub-category.html

TO

 http://www.example.com/product-category-1/product-sub-category.html

This means that people don’t get a 404 error when entering the site through the old URL.

Try adding this to the htaccess file at the root of your document, preferably above any rules that you may already have:

 RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^shopping/(.*)$ /$1 [L]

If you want to redirect the browser so that the new URL appears in the location bar, add the R flag in square brackets:

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