Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with creating redirections in Rank Math. Since you’ve already checked for other redirection plugins and followed the recommended steps, let’s try a few more troubleshooting methods:
-
Update Rank Math: Ensure that you are using the latest version of Rank Math. Sometimes, older versions can have bugs that are resolved in updates.
-
Check .htaccess File: You can check your .htaccess file to see if there are any conflicting rules. To do this, navigate to WordPress Dashboard → Rank Math SEO → General Settings → Edit .htaccess. If you find any unexpected rules, consider removing them. Here’s how it looks:
-
Debugging Redirection: Use Rank Math’s debug feature to trace any issues with redirection. This can help identify if there are any underlying problems.
-
Self-Diagnosis: Perform a self-diagnosis using the tools provided in Rank Math to check for any configuration issues.
If after trying these steps you still cannot create redirections, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will take over and assist you further. Thank you for your patience!
I dont understand what I should do here. What does the information under .htaccess mean?

Can you please look at the code and tell me what to do?
Hello,
The codes in your .htaccess control how your server runs your website. It controls 301 redirects, SSL connections, password protection, the default language, and more on your WordPress site.
We recommend getting in touch with your web host if you want to fiddle with it since it is a sensitive file and can break your website if you’re unsure about it.
Regarding the issue, please check if the issues get fixed by re-creating the missing database tables.
You can re-create them by going to WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > Status & Tools > Database Tools.
Here’s a guide that you can follow:

Let us know how this goes.
