Redirect rule to delete Category slug - is it possible?

[alessio98]

Hi, i'm using a Prestashop ecommerce, i have to change my permalink structure from www.root.com/category/product to www.root.com/product

I can change the option in order to create the product pages, but how can I handle redirects? I have 3000+ products, i cannot do it manually.

I need to redirect all, how can I do it?

Thanks!

Do you have all those product URLs? If yes, then you can use a redirection plugin.
If no, then you need to extract URLs from sitemap maybe.

Is not possible to write rule for each category like that
RewriteRule ^(.)/(.)$ /$2 [R=301,L]

(that rule doesn't work)

I got redirected automatically while using category in URL,
I'm using Yoast with removing category URL as well as %postname% in permalinks

hope this helps!
