    Hi,

    I recently rebuilt my site and now start to see bunch of 404s especially images that I uploaded previous years. First of all, is it good practice to 410 those images? If yes, how can I set up 410 for a folder that contains a lot of uploaded images? Instead of setting up 410 for an individual image I want to do it for 2017 folder, 2018, and 2019.

    I couldn’t find an answer on the help page, please help.

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.

    The redirection module works best for paths that exists within the WordPress installation. I can suggest that you add a redirect your .htaccess file to redirect the upload directories like so:

    Redirect 410 /wp-content/uploads/2019
 Redirect 410 /wp-content/uploads/2018

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
