Answer 1

You can use this code:

Goes in DOCUMENT_ROOT/wedgiecommunity/.htaccess:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s/+wedgiecommunity([^\s]*) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1 [R=301,L]

Goes in DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htaccess:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule !^/?wedgiecommunity wedgiecommunity%{REQUEST_URI} [L,NC]

Answer 2

You can use this rule to "remove" the folder from the URL when it is accessed directly via the browser:

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \ /wedgiecommunity/
RewriteRule ^wedgiecommunity/(.*)$ /$1 [L,R=301]

Then your other rule will handle the rest.
