How to set 301 redirect?

[issirius]

Hello, I want to set 301 redirect.

I opened .htacces, that I've renamed after install process from htaccess.txt

I add the following condition to the end of file:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RedirectMatch 301 /forum/forum6/thread94188.html#post575816 /forum/subforlder-1/subfolder-2/96098-yoni-the-bassist-the-flow-of-emotions-2018-video
</IfModule>

As I remember you have to put it into the beginning of the file... I could not look into that right now, but I think there are other redirects in the middle of the file and your will not work at the end.

I add to the begin of the file. But it doesn't work. The url doesn't change. No redirect and I see typical page for post not found.

Should look like this:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
	RewriteEngine On
	
#Start Redirects

RewriteRule ^(.+)/forum(.*)$ https://forum.test.de/forum/$2 [R=301,L]
......

Redirect is only an example!
