Rewrite old section to new
Hi,
We have a section name that has to be changed. Only there are a few articles that need to stay accessible with the old and new url. I tried to make a rewrite rule that covers this but I can’t get it working as it should. It rewrites to the new section but doubles the article title… What goes wrong here?
This is the rewrite rule:
RewriteRule ^oldsection/(.*) https://domain.com/newsection/$1 [R=301,L]
I also tried:
RewriteRule ^oldsection/(.*)$ https://domain.com/newsection/$1 [R=301,L]
But with both rules this happens:
https://domain.com/oldsection/article-name => https://domain.com/newsection/article-name/article-name
What do I have to change to make this work?

Redirect permanent /oldsection http://domain.com/newsectionOffline
