I'm developing a website using wordpress. I have custom post type urls like :

review/assassins-creed-iii/

But the post type name is review, but I have to rewrite this word to product

    product/assassins-creed-iii/

or

    assassins-creed-iii/

It's ok me to remove that slug and show only the post slug

I used this htaccess code :

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}  (.*)/review/(.*)
RewriteRule .* example.com/%1/product/%2  [QSA,R=301,L]

But this redirects me to 404 page. Anyone know how to change all urls as above?

Thank you

How are you adding the custom post type? – Mat Taylor
there have plugin installed and it use custom post type to store reviews – Salinda Bandara
Try re saving settings>permalinks after the htaccess changes. Otherwise i would look into how to add your own custom post types, its not much code at all needed, then you can set the permalink yourself. – Mat Taylor
saved but the same issue happening – Salinda Bandara

Please give a try to this

RewriteRule ^review/(.*)   /products/$1   [L]

This will find "review" and replace it with products.
