Permalinks change and redirection

#98377

    Hi there,
    All my blog post of my website have the following syntax: website.com/category/blogpostname
    I have discovered that it is not the best solution to rank.
    So, I want to change the permalinks to website.com/blogpostname.
    I have activated the autopost redirect feature in Rank Math.
    Now, I am going to change the permalinks in wordpress settings.
    I have also understood that after the latter, I should set a regex redirection too.
    However, I am struggling with the right regex rules to write.
    As well, are in the right order the steps I am going to follow?

    Thanks in advance,

    Antonio

  • Hello,

    Thank you for getting in touch with us.

    The option for auto post redirect only redirects posts whose slug has been changed, not a change in permalink settings. To redirect your URLs ,please try adding these to Rank math redirection:

    
    Source: /(\s+)/(\d+)/
    Destination: $1
    

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

    Hi Michael,

    Thanks for your help!

    As I write the destination, automatically it changes in http://$1 , is this normal?

    Hello,

    Just to be sure, have you change the redirection type to Regex? Since that is the kind of redirection my colleague shared.

    Looking forward to help you.

    Yes!
