Change SEO suffix redirecting old pages

[broc93]

Hello!
I want to change the SEO suffix of every virtuemart product page from the default one "-detail" to another. The fact is that I don't want people who go to the old pages to get a 404 error. How can I redirect the old pages to the new ones?
Thank you in advance!

Yeah, but this way I would get a 404 error when visiting the pages with the old suffix. I want to make a redirect from the old to the new ones because the site has been live for almost two years now and I don't want my customers to see 404 errors. Thank you in advance!

if u can't match the old urls by config/choice of aliases etc then you will have to set up redirections -
htaccess or there are extensions available

Yeah, I did read that but still not able to do this redirection. How could I do it via htaccess?

if you cannot work out redj then regex pattern matching in .htaccess is going to be fun!
