.htaccess Rewrite% 2f

Question

I am trying to redirect using the following:

RewriteRule ^reviews/area/Santa-Barbara%2F$"/reviews/area/santa-barbara" [R=301,NC,L]

I have the AllowEncodedSlashes directive, but the rewrite still doesn't work. What am I missing?

You need to first use the AllowEncodedSlashes

directive inside the server config and set it to:

AllowEncodedSlashes NoDecode

Then, inside your root .htaccess, you can use this rule:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^(reviews/area/Santa-Barbara)\%2f$ /$1 [R=301,NC,L]
