    Hi, I setup a redirection.

    However I noticed when google crawls the old page it still returns a http 200 code. It should be a 301? I think there is an issue with rankmath.

  • Hello,

    We apologize for the issue you are facing with the redirection setup in Rank Math. It sounds like the redirection may not be configured correctly, which is why Google is still receiving a 200 status code instead of a 301.

    To ensure that your redirection is set up properly, please follow these steps:

    1. Go to Rank Math > Redirections in your WordPress admin dashboard.
    2. Check the list of existing redirections to see if the one you created is listed there.
    3. If it is, ensure that the Source URL is correct and that the Destination URL is set to where you want the traffic to go.
    4. Make sure that the redirection type is set to 301 (Permanent).

    Here’s a visual guide to help you:

    If you have a lot of URLs that need to be redirected, you can also add them in bulk. For more information on bulk 301 redirects, you can check this guide.

    Hello,

    The URL is already redirecting fine. You can also check it using this tool:
    https://httpstatus.io/

    We recommend clearing your website’s cache as well in this case.

    Looking forward to helping you.
