Hello,

Our dev team released a Beta version of the plugin that fixes the redirection issues.

Please try updating to the beta version of Rank Math by following this guide: https://rankmath.com/kb/version-control/#beta-updates

If you don’t see an update available, please go to Rank Math > Status & Tools > Database Tools > Remove Rank Math Transients > Remove transients. Then, clear your caches, server, and WordPress and check again.

You can disable the Beta updates once you update to the latest version (which will be released soon) and if the issue is gone.

Let us know how this goes.
