How to redirect categories with htaccess without redirecting subpages?

Question

htaccess

Greetings.
Can't implement the following. It is necessary that when you go to the site.ru/gallery/ page, a 301 redirect to the site.ru/category/gallery/ page occurs.
Did the following:
Redirect 301 /gallery/ /category/gallery/
But now there is a problem. When you go to a nested page, for example site.ru/gallery/post.html, there is a redirect to site.ru/gallery/category/post.html, but this is not necessary.
The question is - how to make a 301 redirect from /gallery/ to /category/gallery/, but without subpages?

Answer 1

You just need to limit it with a more stringent condition, in fact, one condition is enough for you, but I wrote two to be sure.

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(gllery)/$
# условие если урл содержет начало строки гелерик -конец строки
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*\.php$
# доп условиен на всякий случай если урл НЕ заканчивается на php
RewriteRule ^(.*)$  http://site.ru/category/gallery/ [L,R=301]
