htaccess question: remove %post_id% from url and 301 redirect

  • For some reason, I’ve quite a number of posts showing 2 urls in Google Webmaster tools. e.g:
    /this_is_a_post/1447/
    /this_is_a_post/

    My permalink structure is /%postname%/%post_id%/

    This is my current htaccess

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

    Both types of urls resolve, but to avoid duplicate issues I want to 301 redirect all requests that include the post_id and just return the postname in the url i.e. /this_is_a_post/

    Searched the web but haven’t found a htaccess rule that quite works. Appreciate any help.
