Hello, after I have upgraded my site I see that once I go live with new version some parts of the website URLs will not be redirected for gallery, blogs and files because of new structure. And there is no way fixing it within the CMS there just isn't so my goal is to use NGINX redirects.
I wonder do any of you know any .htaccess rewrite tricks to make such redirects possible?
http://www.website.com/forums/blogs/* -> http://www.website.com/blogs/*
http://www.website.com/forums/gallery/* -> http://www.website.com/gallery/*
http://www.website.com/forums/files/* -> http://www.website.com/files/*
I actually need the part forums dropped from the URL only and ONLY when the address is going for forums+blogs/gallery/files. Don't want to loose that google traffic.
So for example
http://www.website.com/forums/blogs/entry123/my-dog/ is redirected to
http://www.website.com/blogs/entry123/my-dog/
BUT
http://www.website.com/forums/topic/my-dog/
is left alone and working just like before because the following subfolder is neither blogs or gallery or files.
In apache this one did the trick, but in nginx that obviously doesn't work

Code:
RewriteRule ^forums/(blogs|gallery|files)/(.*)$ /$1/$2 [L,R=301]
