301 Redirect www and other subdomains in a subdirectory to non-www

301 Redirect by htaccess all URLs with any subdomains in a subdirectory to non-www

Examples:

https://www.example.com/forum

to https://example.com/forum

https://anysubdomains.example.com/forum

to https://example.com/forum

https://www.example.com/forum/anysubdiretory

to https://example.com/forum/anysubdirectory

https://anydubdomains.example.com/forum/anysubdiretory

to https://example.com/forum/anysubdirectory

The code below works only for www but how to make it work for all subdomains: 

RewriteEngine on

#the directory the rule should apply to
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/forum/  [NC]
#check if the host  string starts with "www"
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\. [NC]
#redirect all www urls to non-www
RewriteRule (.*) https://example.com%{REQUEST_URI}  [L,R=301]

To match any subdomains including www , you can use a regex pattern that matches everything . Your RewruteCondition currently only matches a www subdomain , replace it with a wildcard match RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+)\.example\.com$ [NC] .

You can use the following :

  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/forum
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+)\.example\.com$ [NC]
  RewriteRule (.*) https://example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

Make sure to clear your browser cache before testing this new redirect.
