Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with the redirection in a multilingual, subdomain-based installation. Thank you for raising this concern regarding the handling of redirects in Rank Math when using WPML.
Currently, Rank Math does not support per-language redirects directly, which can indeed lead to complications in a setup like yours. Your suggestion to include the domain in the redirects or to allow per-language redirects is valuable and could enhance the functionality for users with multilingual sites.
For now, if you are experiencing specific issues with your redirects, please reply to this ticket with your site URL so that a human agent from our support team can assist you further. They will be able to provide more tailored help regarding your setup and any potential workarounds.
Thank you for your understanding, and we appreciate your feedback!
Hello,
I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?
Thank you.
Hello,
Unfortunately, Rank Math doesn’t handle server/domain-level redirection. The best way to achieve this redirection is via the .htaccess file.
You can follow this URL for more details on how you can do that: https://chemicloud.com/kb/article/redirect-domain-using-htaccess/
Here’s how you can edit the .htaccess file using Rank Math:

Please do take a backup before editing your .htaccess file as it is a sensitive file.
Looking forward to helping you.
Hey,
Since there aren’t variations in htaccess for subdomains, it’s still not a perfect solution… Users will have a difficult time updating a file, with a lot of damage potential.
If RM wouldn’t strip the domain part, however, or leave an option to leave it intact, thus supporting subdomain-level redirect, problem would be solved.
Hello,
Rank Math currently strips the domain from redirects, which limits subdomain-specific control. If this is something we can improve in the future, we will surely let you know.
In the meantime, using server-level rules like .htaccess remains the most flexible option, though we agree it’s not ideal for all users.
Don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if you have any other questions.
Hello,
