title: Redirect 301 .htaccess Redirect Error
body: <p>I have re-vamped a website and I'm attempting to ensure all of the old, deleted directories are redirected to the new pages. For example, I have a directory called /category/ and want it redirected to <a href="http://website.com/interiordesign.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://website.com/interiordesign.html</a>. The root website is still the exact same. I've implemented some coding in the .htaccess file, but it is giving me a redirect error. </p>
  
  <p>Here is my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>RewriteEngine On
  
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)/$
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1/ [L,R=301]
  
  Redirect 301 /category/ http://website.com/interiordesign.html
  Redirect 301 /interior-design-portfolio/ http://website.com/interiordesign.html
  Redirect 301 /contact-location/ http://website.com/contact.html
  Redirect 301 /tag/ http://website.com/blog.html
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have the remove / rule in place, as I found when I didn't implement that, it was taking the user to interiordesign.html/ and with the slash, it didn't work. </p>
  
  <p>Apologies for my poor coding, this is not my area of expertise.</p>
