redirection

    Migrating a site from .xyz to .com domain, setting up 301 redirects. Individual URLs are successfully redirected, but how is the homepage redirect set up? (i.e. I want to 301 redirect old homepage ABC .xyz to new homepage ABC .com)

    When I try to enter “ABC .xyz/” in the 301 redirect source URL setting it returns this error: “Please add at least one valid source URL.”

    What am I missing? TIA

    (P.s. There are no spaces in the URLs, I added those here to prevent identifying them as links)

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting us and we regret the inconvenience caused.

    Sorry to disappoint you but the homepage of the website cannot be redirected using the Redirection Manager of Rank Math.

    If you wish, you may use .htaccess redirections for this purpose.

    If there’s anything else that we can assist you with, please let us know.

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?

    Thank you.

    Thanks Prabhat, I’ve updated the sensitive data with more information and a question about htaccess. Can you please take a look?

    Hello,

    Since the RewriteEngine on is already in your .htaccess file, you don’t need to include it. You can copy the rest of the code before the .

    Furthermore, we always recommend taking a backup of your .htaccess file in case there would be an error upon applying the code. You can also get in touch with your web host since they are in a better position to help you with this kind of redirect.

    I hope that helps.

    Thank you, and please don’t hesitate to contact us anytime if you need further assistance with anything else.
