 * This is my new structure.
   [https://mrpatin.bienvenidoal.club/recambios/electronica-y-motores/acelerador-cecotec-outsider-bongo-serie-a-color-azul/](https://mrpatin.bienvenidoal.club/recambios/electronica-y-motores/acelerador-cecotec-outsider-bongo-serie-a-color-azul/)
   Placing category and product name in the url.
 * This is the old structure:
   [https://mrpatin.bienvenidoal.club/producto/acelerador-cecotec-outsider-bongo-serie-a-color-azul/](https://mrpatin.bienvenidoal.club/producto/acelerador-cecotec-outsider-bongo-serie-a-color-azul/)
 * How do I redirect the old URL to the new one?
 * I have placed this redirect in .htacces , but it gives me internal server error.
 * Redirect product/%postname% to [https://mrpatin.bienvenidoal.club/%category%/%postname%](https://mrpatin.bienvenidoal.club/%category%/%postname%)
 * Any ideas ?
 * Thank you

 * You cannot use .htaccess to add a category element to the request. It has no 
   way of knowing what the right category is. The issue is when someone requests/
   producto/producto_name/, WP will treat it like a category request and fail to
   find anything. You need to intercept such requests through the “request” filter.
   Verify the request via query that it’s indeed a product and not an actual category.
   If so, get the correct category term and construct a proper URL for the product.
   Then call `wp_redirect()` using the proper URL.
 * If the request is indeed for a category, return the passed query var array unchanged.
