How can I redirect one missing image to the correct path, but only that specific image?

I have a wordpress + woocommerce site with one particular issue. We have an icon image (png) that appears in the product and from time to time it removes the absolute URL of the image to a relative one using ../ and it creates an invalid URL. I need to catch all calls to that specific image, no matter what URL it is, of course, only the 404 ones, and redirect it to the right path. For example, the right image is:

    https://colmena.co.il/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/event-icon-xxs.png

And this is one of the wrong calls:

    https://colmena.co.il/shop/eventos/wellness/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/event-icon-xxs.png

I need the second one to redirect to the first one, but I cannot use the full wrong URL because it changes based on the categories and subcategories (the /shop/eventos/wellness part).

I tried a couple of catch all examples found here and elsewhere trying to adapt them, but I just made it worse so I removed them all.

Any help is appreciated!

It is questionable if what you attempt really is a good idea. I personally would always prefer to fix the actual cause of the issue instead of trying to handle the symptom, as you suggest...

That said I assume the following is what you are actually looking for:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/?shop/(?:[^/]+)/(?:[^/]+)/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/event-icon-xxs\.png$ /wp-content/uploads/2021/01/event-icon-xxs.png [L]

I think however that you can simplify that, since you most likely do not use a similar path for other locations:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule /?event-icon-xxs\.png$ /wp-content/uploads/2021/01/event-icon-xxs.png [L]
