    Is it possible to have a redirect go to my 404 page when the url extension is not set up in the redirects (IE person misspells the extension but the main site URL is correct)?

  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math support and we apologize for the inconvenience.

    Naturally, if the URL does not have any page on it, it would throw a 404 error, otherwise, that page would be displayed. In any case, please share some examples of the URLs you are referring to so we can help take a look.

    Thank you for your patience and cooperation. Looking forward to hearing back from you.

    Thank you for your quick reply.
    Some examples you requested might be
    cakesavvy.ca/birtday cakes
    cakesavvy.ca/desiner cake
    etc.
    People make all sorts of typos. My question is, no matter what the typo in the extension, if the main website address is correct but the extension is misspelled is there a way to direct them to the home page without trying to put every misspelling I can think of in the redirects?

    thanks for your help

    Hello,

    I’m not sure if this is what you want but you can actually redirect all pages that are “not found” to your homepage. For example, if a user visits cakesavvy.ca/birtday-cakes or cakesavvy.ca/desiner-cake or any other pages that do not exist, they will be redirected to your homepage.

    You can implement this by navigating to Rank Math > General Settings > Redirection and changing the Fallback Behavior to Redirect to Homepage.

    If you’re looking for a more advanced redirect – you can use our Regex Redirection feature, learn more here: https://rankmath.com/kb/how-to-use-regex-redirects/
