Comment (by MarjWyatt):

 Thanks for the complete explanation of .htaccess rules haykayltduk.

 At the time I opened the report, I had also tried:
 I will say that this didn't work either:
 `Redirect 301 chocolate-covered-strawberries-edible-arrangements/
 http://www.someurl.com/blog/chocolate-covered-strawberries-arrangements/`

 My pal who is an SEO told me it was a flaw in generated .htaccess code.

 In between opening the ticket and your response, I did more digging into
 the proper method for redirecting on WordPress and came up with this
 solution:
 `RedirectMatch 301 ^/blog/chocolate-covered-strawberries-edible-
 arrangements.*$ http://www.womeurl.com/blog/chocolate-covered-
 strawberries-arrangements/`
