You will need to use Mod_rewrite and a regex to check for the "forums" string. Here is an example of what you're looking for. mod_rewrite rule: if URL contains a certain string

If /blog/ is a directory then place this rule in /blog/.htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog/

RewriteRule ^forums(/.*)?$ / [L,NC,R=302]

For handling /forums/ place this rule inDocuementRoot/.htaccess`:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^forums(/.*)?$ / [L,NC,R=302]

Once you verify it is working fine, replace R=302 to R=301. Avoid using R=301 (Permanent Redirect) while testing your mod_rewrite rules.

I got your point but this link is diffrent this does not contain /blog/forum/ it only contain /forum/ – user3515353 Nov 24 '14 at 14:50
ok I have added 2 rules in my answer. One for `/blog/forums` and another for `/forums`. Pay attention to in which .htaccess they go to. – anubhava Nov 24 '14 at 14:52
You must place both rules as **very first rules** in root .htaccess and `/blog/.htaccess` – anubhava Nov 24 '14 at 15:00

You can use: `RewriteRule ^test(/.*)?$ / [L,NC,R=302]` – anubhava Nov 25 '14 at 06:24
