Regex 301 Redirect .htaccess file [closed]

I need to redirect ALL instances of example.com/privacy-policy to a new domain page.

For example, redirect example.com/privacy-policy AND example.com/subfolder/privacy-policy

This is what I have:

RedirectMatch 301 ^/privacy-policy/(.+?)(-[0-9]+)?$ https://new.example/privacy-policy/v2/

I'm not having any luck and I'm struggling with other versions of this.

What am I missing?

Redirects in .htaccess are better suited to webmasters.stackexchange.com (not ServerFault).

This forum is widely used for questions on htaccess, mod_rewrite and regex hence there is nothing wrong in asking it here.

You can use this rule with a tweak in your regex:

RedirectMatch 301 /privacy-policy(/.*)?$ https://new.example/privacy-policy/v2/

By removing ^ from regex we are now matching /privacy-policy anywhere in URI not just the start.

Since you don't care what comes after /privacy-policy, there is no reason to match anything but optional /.* in the end.

Make sure to use a new browser for your testing.

Perfect! Thank you! I don't want to violate any forum rules here, but you can you briefly explain the error in my syntax vs yours? If not, thanks again!
