title: htaccess: remove portion of url
body: <p>if my URL was:
  <code>http://mywebsite.com/lawyer/my-lawyer-profile</code></p>
  
  <p>How would I remove <code>lawyer</code> from the URL for all similar requests?</p>
  
  <pre><code>RewriteRule ^lawyer/(.+)/$ /$1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>That doesn't seem to work ... of course, I can access the url as <code>http://mywebsite.com/my-lawyer-profile</code> but I need the URL to always rewrite.</p>
