  • Hello,

    We apologize for the issue you are facing with the redirection of 404 URLs in version 1.0.225. It seems like there might be a bug causing this behavior.

    To troubleshoot this issue, we recommend checking the following:

    1. Check for Redirections Created with Rank Math: Ensure that you haven’t accidentally created broad redirects that might be causing conflicts. You can review your redirection settings in Rank Math to see if there are any misconfigurations.
      More than one redirection
    2. Check .htaccess (or nginx.config) File: Sometimes, redirects can also be set up in your .htaccess file. You can check this by navigating to WordPress Dashboard → Rank Math SEO → General Settings → Edit .htaccess. If you find any unwanted rules, consider removing them.
      edit .htaccess

    If these steps do not resolve the issue, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further. Thank you for bringing this concern to our attention!

    Hello,

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

    That is correct. If you click on the “Redirect” action for an entry in your 404 Monitor Log, you are forwarded to the redirection settings where you can set a redirection for that 404 URL. You can redirect it to any page you want but make sure it is relevant and doesn’t confuse the user.

    You may refer to this video screencast on how you would redirect the 404 URL: https://i.rankmath.com/v/QQN0Op

    If it seems we are missing something, can you please record a video screencast from your end showing the issue? You may use this tool to record a screencast and share it with us here.

    Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

    Pls check this, https://www.loom.com/share/c37bf113d3004dadb4ad12855adfad8d?sid=dbd9536b-75e5-43ca-a442-b09be3a4daeb

    It directly goes to the redirection page rather than letting me add the redirection first.

    Also, its happening only in this new version – I tried rolling back and then it works properly.

    Hello,

    That’s not supposed to happen.

    Assuming you are using the latest version of all the plugins and the themes (please update if not yet), it would seem like a conflict with one of the plugins or the theme you are using.

    To determine that, please follow this troubleshooting guide:
    https://rankmath.com/kb/check-plugin-conflicts/

    Here is a video you can follow as well:

    Only the site admin would know and your users won’t be affected by this troubleshooting.

    If the issue persists, please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress & FTP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.

    Please do take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.
    Sensitive Data Section

    It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/

    You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-security-audit-log/

    Please do take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.

    We really look forward to helping you.
