Got it. That works. I was using Yoast Premium Redirect tools.

RewriteRule ^(.)urban-living(.)$ yoursite.com/$1urban$2 [R=301,L]   the "yoursite.com/" wasn't necessary.

This did the trick. RewriteRule ^(.)urban-living(.)$ /$1urban$2 [R=301,L]

Thanks!

I have more than a dozen... dozenS as in plural.  There are 80 pages with this and want to use a single command to capture all of them, not do them individually.

Is there a way to to that?

I just relaunched my website and changed a permalink structure for several pages where only a subdirectory name changed.

What 301 Redirect code do I use to redirect the following? I have dozens of these where I need to change just the directory name from "urban-living" to "urban", and want it to catch the following all in one redirect command.

Here is an example of the structure that needs to change.

Old 
domain.com/urban-living (single page w/ content)
domain.com/urban-living/tempe (single page w/ content)
domain.com/urban-living/tempe/the-vale (single page w/ content)

New 
domain.com/urban 
domain.com/urban/tempe 
domain.com/urban/tempe/the-vale
