    I recently changed the domain of my site, and want all pages with the previous domain to redirect to the new domain. File structure is the same, so expect all redirects to be 1:1, replacing the domain.

    Old url: tipsychocochip.com
    New url: bestwithchocolate.com

    Expect:
    tipsychocochip.com/cookie-dough-icing –> bestwithchocolate.com/cookie-dough-icing

    Using a different plugin I used the syntax
    Source URL: http://tipsychocochip.com/(.*)
    Destination URL: http://bestwithchocolate.com/$1

    Is there an equivalent structure or format I should be doing here to achieve the desired functionality in Rank Math?

    Hello,

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

    My recommendation would be using .htaccess for this kind of redirection, since they are better running directly in your .htacces file.

    The usual redirection setup for this would be this one:

    Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^OLDDOMAIN\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://NEWDOMAIN.com [R=301,L]

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    Thank you for your quick reply! I ended up with this snippet in my .htaccess file in order to match ‘www’ and non ‘www’ links, as well as contain the directory structure for the redirect. 

    Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^tipsychocochip.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.tipsychocochip.com$
RewriteRule (.*)$ http://www.bestwithchocolate.com/$1 [R=301,L]
