Thanks for the quick reply.<br />
<br />
I added your suggestion to .htaccess, but it doesn't quite work as intended. &nbsp;It redirects to:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.example.com/discussions/bla-bla?q=discussions/discussions/bla-bla?" rel="ugc">http://www.example.com/discussions/bla-bla?q=discussions/discussions/bla-bla?</a><br />
<br />
Note that this is on a Drupal site, so Drupal may be imposing some .htaccess restrictions?

It looks like that you're using mod_rewrite and it conflicts with one or some of your rules.<br />
<br />
Add<br />
<br />
RewriteRule ^discussions/(discussions/<wbr />.*) <a href="http://www.example.com/$1" rel="ugc">http://www.example.com/$1</a>&nbsp;[R=301,L]<br />
<br />
below the line<br />
'RewriteEngine on', i.e. above the RewriteRuls from drupal.
</div>

Add

RewriteRule ^discussions/(discussions/.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [http://www.example.com/$1] [R=301,L]

below the line
'RewriteEngine on', i.e. above the RewriteRuls from drupal.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
Hello,<br />
<br />
I'm trying to 301 redirect all pages from 1) to 2):<br />
<br />
1) example.com/discussions/di<wbr />scussions/<wbr />bla-bla<br />
2) example.com/discussions/bl<wbr />a-bla<br />
<br />
In essence removing the second &quot;discussions&quot; directory.<br />
<br />
How would I achieve this in .htaccess?<br />

Thanks,<br />
