title: Htaccess 301 Folder Redirection
body: <p>This question has been asked before over a million times but it doesn't clear up!</p>
  
  <p>I have a structure like below:<br></p>
  
  <pre><code>http://example.com/category1/subcat2/stuff3&lt;br&gt;
  http://example.com/category4/subcat5/stuff6&lt;br&gt;
  http://example.com/category7/subcat8/stuff9
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to redirect em to the following respectively:<br></p>
  
  <pre><code>http://example.com/folder/category11/subcat22/stuff33&lt;br&gt;
  http://example.com/folder/category44/subcat55/stuff66&lt;br&gt;
  http://example.com/folder/category77/subcat88/stuff99
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Notice the added folder and ALL folders and subfolders have changed names!</p>
  
  <p>Furthermore there are over 2000 redirects that I need to manually place. Obviously I can't put them all in root .htaccess since 2000+ lines would slow the entire site down!</p>
  
  <p>I want to break the .htaccess into the smallest bits possible i.e the stuff folders so .htaccess is individual for every redirect.</p>
