Remove "blog" in .htaccess 301 redirect (old blogpost > new blogpost)

Question

I migrate blog posts from Yola CMS to Wordpress and I don't know how to remove "blog" from old path alias (slug) and redirect the page using 301 to the new URL:

This is the scenario:

http://www.example.net/blog/this-is-path-alias-slug > http://www.example.com/this-is-path-alias-slug/

Please, note that:

• 1th alias has net domain and 2nd has com domain
• 2nd alias has slash / at the end

Answer 1

There are several Plugins for WordPress to manage custom redirects. I will not recommend a specific tool, but most of those will do the job. Install one of these Plugins and enter the redirection URLs accordingly.

Examples:
