Hello,

I have a website in Wordpress. Example: http://www.mysite.com
Than I developed a new theme for the website and I have created a new directory on server for developement and testing only. The URL is http://www.mysite.com/newsite/

Now Google scanned my this testing website and added URL from it. So google has added:
http://www.mysite.com/newsite/
http://www.mysite.com/newsite/products/
http://www.mysite.com/newsite/products/sample1/
http://www.mysite.com/newsite/products/sample2/
http://www.mysite.com/newsite/products/sample2/
http://www.mysite.com/newsite/about-us/
http://www.mysite.com/newsite/contact/

There are more than 100 pages so I cannot add 301 redirection for each URLs.

So I think to add a conditional HTACCESS rule for this.

So:
http://www.mysite.com/newsite/ will redirect to http://www.mysite.com/
http://www.mysite.com/newsite/products/ will redirect to http://www.mysite.com/products/
http://www.mysite.com/newsite/products/sample1/ will redirect to http://www.mysite.com/products/sample1/
...
and so on.

I have added this HTACCESS rule but this is not working:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /newsite/
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^newsite/\.
RewriteRule ^newsite/(.*)$ /$1 [L,R=301,QSA].

Please note that the root path (www.mysite.com) also contains Wordpress HTACCESS so if this may give problem?

Can anyone help me to create rule for this?

Thanks

Thanks for reply.
It's not working. I removed 2nd and 3rd line but still it's not working.

//301 Redirect Entire Directory
RedirectMatch 301 newsite/(.*) /$1

Thanks coreyavis
