Redirect blogpage /blog/abcd/ to /blog/

Question

I want to redirect the url if it contains the string like /blog/abcd.../ to blog listing page i.e. /blog page. I used a to code in htaccess file.

Redirect 301 /blog/abcd http://www.example.com/blog

But the browser says Too many redirect error. I think Wordpress also do a redirection for blog single post that is /blog/abcd to /abcd. Can we force htaccess to do redirect if url contains /blog/ to blog listing page.

Answer 1

A URL like /blog/abcd.../ will redirect to the 404 page, you can redirect the 404 page to the blog page, This plugin will do what you want.
