Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.
The redirection list displays your custom redirections. The auto-post redirection feature does not add a redirection to your list of redirection. It however redirects the post a post from a previous permalink to the current permalink as I have demonstrated in the screencast attached in the sensitive section.
Hoping this helps you. Thank you.
Removing parts of the URL, does not create a redirect, for example https://domain.com/welcome-to-my-home/ > https://domain.com/welcome-home/ returns a 404 when https://domain.com/welcome-to-my-home/ is visited and does not redirect.
Also, where do you edit the redirects created automatically? Having them on the redirects page would be really useful.
Hello,
I have been able to reproduce your issue on your website and I have sent it to the devs so they can check it.
About how can you edit those redirections, right now you can’t since they are not added in the redirections panel but I will also send the suggestion to add them in the redirections list.
Looking forward to help you.
Thank you very much, having redirects you are not able to see or edit is kinda sketchy, being able to view and edit the generated redirects would be great 🙂
Hello,
Yes, you are completely right, I sent it and they have already seen it so I am sure they will work into it.
About your issue, we will update you soon once we have a solution for it.
Looking forward to help you.
Hello,
I am sorry for the confusion here. Rank Math creates a new Redirection rule when you change the post slug and you will see it in the Redirection list.
On your site, I see this is not working. Can you add your site’s FTP details in the Sensitive Data Section so we can debug the issue by editing some files?
Looking forward to helping you.
Hello,
I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?
Thank you.
Hello,
Thank you for sharing the login details. I have logged in to your site and spent considerable time troubleshooting the issue. Before creating the auto-redirection, Rank Math plugin removes the prefix URL i.e site_url with the domain. This function to remove domain is not working well on your site because the staging site URL contains 2 . so the regex replace is failing.
Is this also not working on your live site. If so, can you add your live site’s URL in the Sensitive Data Section?
Looking forward to helping you.
