How to redirect a subfolder of a website to another URL

In order to redirect a subfolder (for example, http://awcdev.com/tips/) to another URL (for example, http://awcdev.com/), add the following lines of code to the .htaccess file in the root folder of your website.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^tips/(.*)$   http://awcdev.com/$1  [R=301,NC,QSA,L]

If you do not have an .htaccess file in the root folder of your site, you can simply create a new one there and just place this code in it.
