Wildcard redirects are great for directing from one site to a new site but be very very careful

Use the wild card redirect to effectively redirect old pages on an old domain to your new domain name you want to use instead.

So what this does is turn “folder” into a redirect folder.

ReWriteEngine on

RedirectMatch 301 /folder/(.*)

http://www.domain.com/$1
