Redirect to specific page - .htaccess, wordpress

i would like to know how to redirect every url that comes after /old-articles/ to my /blog/ page. ex.: https://www.mywebsite.com/old-articles/some-article/ - - > https://www.mywebsite.com/blog/ I have tried many things in my .htacces file but i can not find a solution. Apache server - wordpress site

i have already tried: RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^old-articles(.*)$ /blog$1 [R=301,NC,L]

Redirect 301 /old-articles/* /blog/

Redirect 301 /old-articles/(.*)$ /blog$1

Redirect 301 /old-articles(.*)$ /blog$1

Redirect 301 /old-articles(.*)$ /blog/

I have a lot of links that i want to redirect them to blog, like: /faq-category/* --> /blog/ i have tried the same things for that too. But the result is always the same, "Page not found", without redirecting to blog.

This should be fairly similar to the standard "redirect all traffic to new domain" .htaccess code, which generally looks something like:

RewriteEngine on 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://new-website.com/$1 [R=301,L]

However since you just want to redirect a subdirectory you can do something like:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^old-articles(.*)$ /blog$1 [R=301,NC,L]
