   Hello

   Maybe a simple thing to do in .htaccess but haven't been able to figure it out

   I would like to redirect any url with http://www.mysite.com/photos/... to just http://www.mysite.com/
   That is, anything in the photos folder & and its sub-folders & content gets redirected to the homepage

   How would I do this with .htaccess or is there an easier method?

   thanks

   Try RedirectMatch 301 /photos/(.*)$ http://mysite.com/

   Hi

   thanks for the reply. Unfortunately it didn't work.

   This is how I added it in the .htaccess file:

   # BEGIN WordPress
   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On

   RewriteBase /wp213/

   RedirectMatch /photos/(.*)$ http://localhost/wp213/

   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /wp213/index.php [L]
   </IfModule>

   # END WordPress
