Pages Keep Being Redirected to “Checkandgo” with RankMath Enabled

    I was going through the settings and must have changed something, since Rank Math was working fine a few hours ago. I tried resetting the options, but that doesn’t seem to do the trick either.

    Problem: Anytime the plug-in is activated after whatever change must’ve been done, any page gets redirected to “https://checkandgo.info/?p=geytkmrwgi5gi3bpg42te” type links, which are malicious.

    When the plugin is deactivated, the problem goes away, and the pages/link work as expected.

    How do I resolve this issue? I tried deleting and re-installing the RankMath plugin as well, but that did not work either.

    Hi,

    Thanks for getting in touch with us.

    Did you manage to resolve the issue? You have marked the ticket as resolved.

    Let us know.

    Hey guys,

    I have also followed through the fix you recommended on the Rank Math website, but it failed to work.

    However, by deactivating your plugin, it fixed the problem.

    I have also deactivated your plugin on my other client websites.

    Please let me know when this issue has been resolved and we can re-activate your Rank Math plugin.

    My email is: j***@i*******************************

    Hi John,

    Thanks a lot for your query and we are so sorry about the trouble this must have caused.

    Please re-enable the plugin, enable the Redirection module at WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > Dashboard.

    Then, go to WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > Redirections.

    Remove all the redirects you do not recognize.

    Then, Check all the menu items if they are pointing to the correct pages

    Also, Remove any unwanted users from WordPress Dashboard > Users.

    That should fix the issue you are facing.

    Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

    Hey guys,

    Thanks for that info.

    There were a bunch of redirects in there. When I deleted them it all came good again.

    I sincerely hope you have ramped up your security and it stays that way 🙂

    Hi John,

    Thanks for the reply.

    I am thrilled that the plugin is now working seamlessly!

    One of the changes we made in the last update was the introduction of a script that detects if a site was compromised and removes any data related to it in the redirections.

    Feel free to contact us should you come across any problem.

    Thank you.
