Request for help with .htaccess file redirect

The line is correct for what you are trying to achieve. Do you have
RewriteEngine On
before this line?

Thanks for the response, halty.

Here’s exactly what I have:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^author/d/page(.*)$ https://dumbdomme.com/page$1 [L,R=301]
</IfModule>

Did I make a mistake somewhere else that might be affecting the rewrite?

Thanks for any insight you can provide.

Best,
D

Try:

RedirectMatch 301 ^/author/d/page/.*$ https://dumbdomme.com/page$1

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

In this .htaccess this line:
RewriteRule ^author/d/page(.*)$ https://dumbdomme.com/page$1 [L,R=301]
will never be executed because of another rule before it.

Try moving it like so:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^author/d/page(.*)$ https://dumbdomme.com/page$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

Thank you both, Seacoast Web Design and halty.

halty,

I moved the line as you suggested and it worked beautifully. In all the reading I did trying to find the answer myself, I never thought to look into the order of things.

Thank you so much for your time and your help. It’s appreciated. ??

Best to you,
D
