I added many redirects yesterday to our site. Today, I tried to add some more and they would not save.

Hello,
I’m sorry to hear that you are facing issues with saving redirects on your site. If you are experiencing problems where your redirects are not saving or stop working after being saved, it could be due to missing database tables.
To resolve this issue, please follow these steps:
-
Navigate to Rank Math SEO → Status & Tools → Database Tools from your WordPress dashboard.

-
If the Database Tools option is unavailable, enable Advanced Mode at the top-right area of the screen.
-
Click on Re-create Missing Database Tables to recreate the missing tables.

After recreating the missing tables, your redirects should work correctly. If you continue to experience issues, please clear your caching plugin’s cache and test the redirection again. If the problem persists, consider clearing your browser and server-level caches.
If you need further assistance or the problem persists, please feel free to reach out by opening a support ticket on our support forum. Our support team will assist you promptly.
I hope this helps resolve the issue with saving your redirects. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Why Are Posts Redirecting to www or Non-www Incorrectly?Hello,
Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that this issue might have caused.
We’ve checked your website and found that Rank Math REST Routes that we use to update the data are being blocked by your Wordfence firewall and most likely this is why you’re facing the issue.

In order to resolve this issue, please try whitelisting the following Rank Math REST Routes that are being blocked on your firewall.

Thank you.
Hi There. I went thorough the directions and could only find one of the urls in the blocked area. I added that one. I also manually added the other two.. see attached. Still not working for me. Let me know what you think..
Hello,
Can you confirm if these are real or random pages? Can you also confirm if you are trying to set the redirect from the 404 monitor?
If you are seeing random 404s in the monitor that you are sure are incorrect, they are likely generated by spammers and bots. You can safely ignore them, as they don’t affect your site’s performance or ranking.
However, please note that we only report the 404s. We do not have information on how or why they are generated. You can try to fix these errors by following this guide: https://rankmath.com/kb/fix-404-errors/
To block out access to bots, you can use a service like Cloudflare (https://www.cloudflare.com/). Cloudflare is a web security and performance service that can protect your site from malicious bots and attacks.
Please you can refer to this guide to learn more about the advanced 404 monitors: https://rankmath.com/kb/monitor-404-errors/#how-to-use-404-monitor-information
We hope this helps and please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you.
Many of these links are from our old theme. We switched themes so many of these are pointing to old scrips from plugins or themes. So maybe this is okay.
Thank you for looking into this and confirming!

We’re glad to have been of help. Let us know if you need help with anything else.
