Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
I have been able to replicate the issue. I have forwarded to the dev team and they will be coming up with a solution soon. Your patience on the matter will be highly appreciated.
Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
Thanks. Eagerly awaiting your solution for me 🙁
Hi Patrick,
It appears like you have setup the post as a 410 in the Advanced tab:
https://i.rankmath.com/Llzieo
Changing it 301 and then not entering a destination URL field will fix this issue. This is the default setting and should only be changed if you know what you are doing.
With that said, I highly recommend going through the following guide to set up the plugin completely and correctly:

I hope that helps. Please let me know if there’s anything I can help you with.
This is strange. Are you sure this us the problem? I’d been using RM on this site since last year, with no issues.
The only place I set 410 was for deleted URLs I want them permanently deleted and that was also done many months ago.
Anyway I’ll check again.
I think RM is messing up somewhere. As I said earlier, I’d been using RM since last year, on same setting with no issues.
Now I tested on my second site and got same 404 issue: https://swfas.org/fit-summer-body/
Am sharing a screenshot of my redirection setting: https://snipboard.io/anrUAx.jpg
As you can see I have 195 pages I’d set to 410 and 310 from the beginning of using RM with success. This issue t is coming after latest RM updates.
I know this is a free tool, but I need you guys to help me look into it properly, without altering previous deleted pages/posts I’d set to 410 and 301. Let me know if this will cost me some money?
NOTE: On my second site, swfas.org, I have 338 deleted pages set to 410 and 310. Am having same issues on it as well. https://snipboard.io/unL2Pg.jpg
Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.
We are checking this further and we will get back to you.
Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
Please you may not bother again buddy. I’d asked someone check for me, and resolved it now. 🙂
Hello Patrick,
We have released an update to sort this issue. Basically, this happens if you had chosen 410 as the default redirect type at WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > Redirections.
We have added some checks to avoid this from happening and causing newly published posts in the Classic Editor to be marked as 410.
Please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
Hi Patrick,
Thanks for the follow up.
I am glad that this is now resolved 🙂
Feel free to contact us should any other issues come up. Thank you.
