    • This is not exactly your answer

    • But I put this answer here so that maybe it will solve the problem of some other people

      function forward_to_url(){
 $self = $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];

 //The string you want to find
 $itemCheck = "url";
 $needle = $itemCheck. '/';

 //Any Address You want redirect
 $forwardlink = '/'.preg_replace('/'.strtolower($itemCheck).'/','',strtolower($self));

 $length = strlen($needle);
 $urlend= substr($self, -$length);

 if ($urlend == $needle or $urlend == $itemCheck) {
     wp_redirect($forwardlink, 301);
 }
}
add_action('template_redirect', 'forward_to_url');

    To remove -text at the end of the URL-path (before the final slash) you could do something like the following at the top of your root .htaccess file (before the # BEGIN WordPress section).

    For example:

    RewriteRule (.+)-text/$ /$1/ [R=302,L]

    No other directives are required (since the RewriteEngine On directive is in the WordPress code block that follows).

    The $1 backreference (in the substitution string) contains the URL-path that precedes -text/ at the end of the URL-path.

    This applies to any URL that ends in -text/. If it should only apply to URLs that contain a single URL-path segment (as in your example), then you can modify the RewriteRule pattern as follows:

    RewriteRule ^([^/]+)-text/$ /$1/ [R=302,L]

    This will match /example-text/ (single path segment) as before, but not /foo/bar-text (two path segments).

    Note that these are 302 (temporary) redirects. If this is intended to be permanent then change it to a 301, but only once you have tested that it works as intended. 301s are cached persistently by the browser by default so can make testing problematic.
