Hi, I’m trying to set up a regex redirect in RankMath using a negative lookahead but its not working at all. – Does RankMath not support these expressions? Example below:
Redirection Source: .*\/downloads\/brochure\/(?!.*v7ne12mrw)
Redirect Destination: https://www.example.com/downloads/access-error/

What I want this to achieve:
Example 1 Visit: https://www.example.com/downloads/brochure
Example 1 (gets redirected): https://www.example.com/downloads/access-error/

Example 2 Visit: https://www.example.com/downloads/brochure/?code=v7ne12mrw
Example 2 (not redirected): https://www.example.com/downloads/brochure/?code=v7ne12mrw

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

Unfortunately, the Rank Math Redirection module doesn’t support yet redirecting URLs with query parameters. This is a feature that we might launch in our future updates.

For now, you may use .htaccess redirects for this purpose.
Please refer to this guide for more details:

Hope this helps.

Thank you.
