.htaccess redirect Urls

I´m creating a new Wordpress Website based on a old one.

Both sites got an archive page but with different permalinks.

Old-Adress:   old.url.com/anzeigen/anzeigen-detail/article/article-name123.html

New-Adress:   new.url.com/anzeige/article-name123

Since I have 2000+ articles, I´m looking for a single redirect Rule to handle all of them at once.

I know how to do a simple redirection for a single URL but not multiple at once.

Try the following at the top of your .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^old\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^anzeigen/anzeigen-detail/article/([\w-]+)\.html$ https://new.example.com/anzeige/$1 [R=301,L]

If the old URL /anzeigen/anzeigen-detail/article/article-name123.html does not exist at the new domain, then you don't necessarily need the preceding condition.

[\w-] - The dynamic part (ie. article-name123) can consist of the characters a-z, A-Z, 0-9, _ (underscore) and - (hyphen).

Test first with 302 (temporary) redirect to avoid any caching issues.
