Hello,
I apologize for the issue you are facing with page indexing in Google Search Console. To address the “Page with redirect” status, you need to ensure that your preferred version of the URL (HTTP, HTTPS, www, non-www) is properly set up and redirects correctly.
In your case, it seems like you have multiple versions of your website URLs (HTTP, HTTPS, www, non-www) that might be causing the redirect issue. To resolve this, you should set up a 301 permanent redirect from all variations to your preferred version.
Here’s what you can do:
- Redirect HTTP versions to HTTPS with www using 301 permanent redirects.
- Ensure that your preferred version is properly set in your website settings and in Google Search Console.
By setting up proper redirects and ensuring consistency in your preferred URL version, you can resolve the “Page with redirect” status in Google Search Console.
If you need further assistance or have any more questions, please feel free to ask.
Thank you for raising this concern.

Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math support.
You should have only one main website version, and all the other versions should redirect to your main website version. Navigate to WordPress > General Settings > Geeneral; and make sure your Site URL and WordPress URL are set to your main website version. i.e. if your main website version is https://www.example.com – make sure that is what is on your Site/WordPress URLs.
Also, HTTPS is not optional. Always use HTTPS. There’s no difference between the WWW version and the non-WWW version, both work fine.
If your main website version is the WWW version, edit your .htaccess file from Rank Math > General Settings > Edit .htaccess file and add this code to redirect the non-WWW version to the WWW version:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301]
If your main website version is the non-WWW version, edit your .htaccess file from Rank Math > General Settings > Edit .htaccess file and add this code to redirect the WWW version to the non-WWW version:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} www.example.com
RewriteRule (.*) https://example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
We hope this helps you resolve the issue. Don’t hesitate to contact us again with any other questions or concerns regarding Rank Math. We are always happy to help.

Hi Great,
Thanks a lot for your reply and advice! Just to double check, should I change the following for “www” versions or leave it as it is and proceed as per the rest of your message? I just don’t want to do something that’s wrong. Thanks!

Hello,
It looks like your main version here is the non-WWW version if that’s correct, then add the second code to redirect the WWW version to the main version.
Also, which one do you please recommend to use as the default one for search console, please?
They are both the same so you can use any. Just make sure that the URL that you verified on Google Search Console is the main version of your website, i.e. https://syncorigin.digital/

Hello,
To help you investigate this issue, we might need to take a closer look at your website and settings. Please follow these steps:

- Make sure you take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.
- If you prefer, you can use this plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead: https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/
- You can also use this plugin to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any): https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-security-audit-log/
We appreciate your cooperation and patience. Thank you for choosing Rank Math.
Hello,
We deeply apologize for the delay in response.
The temporary login you share is not valid. It’s a LinkedIn handle. Can you please share the temporary login here so we can check the issue further?
Looking forward to helping you.
Hello,
I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?
Thank you.
Hi Jeremy,
Thank you for your response. No worries, that can happen. Apologies for the wrong URL, I’ve got no idea how I did that. Please, find the new one. Thank you.
Best,
Tomas
Hi, are there any updates please? Just so that it doesn’t get lost like before. Thank you.
Hello,
We apologize for the delayed response to your ticket. We prioritize tickets based on their age, meaning that the oldest ones receive attention first. When either you or us respond to a ticket, its position in the queue is adjusted accordingly. This means that if you add a new reply to an existing ticket, it will be pushed down the queue. As a result, this might have caused the delay in responding to your ticket, as each new response from you would have moved the ticket down the queue.
Regarding the issue you reported, we would like to inform you that we were unable to access your SFTP. We received the following error message when we tried:
This could be due to us manually typing the password from your screenshot. We kindly request you to paste the password into the secured sensitive data section instead. Please also ensure that the temporal login is still valid as it usually expires after some time.
We appreciate your patience and cooperation, and we look forward to hearing back from you.
Hello,
Thank you for sharing that information with us.
We have investigated the issue and found that you are using an Nginx server, which does not use .htaccess. Only Apache servers use .htaccess. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
Therefore, you will need to contact your web host and request them to implement a similar redirect rule to your Nginx configuration files. Nginx rules are different from Apache’s .htaccess, although they are somewhat similar. However, .htaccess rules will not work on Nginx websites.
Your hosting provider should be able to write a rule to redirect the WWW version of your website to the non-WWW version. Alternatively, you can use a tool like https://winginx.com/en/htaccess to convert .htaccess rules to Nginx.
We hope this information helps you resolve the issue. If you have any other questions or concerns regarding Rank Math, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are always happy to help.

Hello,
You should stick to the non-www version since that is the current WP site address registered on your website.
Checking your website, all 4 variations are now redirecting to the correct final version as you can see from the screenshot below:
So you need to always use this version of your website: https://syncorigin.digital/
Don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if you have any other questions.
Hi Jeremy,
Thanks a lot for your reply and the explanation.
Just before closing this ticket, it sounds like there’s no need to do the edits with the.htaccess file as we discussed above right? I was about to reach out to WordPress support, my hosting provider, but I think it’s not necessary anymore. I apologise for too many questions but this is quite a complicated topic for me. If it’s all good now, I think the ticket can be marked as resolved.
Thank you. 🙂
Best,
Tomas
