Changed permalinks results lots of 404 and seo traffic drop

  • We changed our permalinks from custom ” /category/postname/. to /postname/. and we also add an 301 redirect to our htaccess for old links.

    The result is: We got more than 1700 not found error and seo traffic drop on g analytics

    How to fix?

    What we added to our htaccess is this;
    RedirectMatch 301 ^/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/$ https://www.ourwebsite.com/$2

    This is added by bulletproof htaccess editor.

    However seems like this doesnt work out. Because we saw lots of 404 not found errors on google search console.
