Redirect of specific words in URL ahead of website migration

One of the ways to do this is by using mod_rewrite.

Open your .htaccess file and add this code before the # BEGIN WordPress line:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^aritcles/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,NC,L]
RewriteRule ^news/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,NC,L]
RewriteRule ^reviews/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,NC,L]
</IfModule>
