PHPSESSID

    Hi,
    I discover that with urls containing the word “PHPSESSID” Rank Math doesn’t make the redirection.
    I believed the problem was the query parameters or the “?” but redirections works until when you don’t use the exact word “PHPSESSID”.

    This is the link with PHPSESSID where redirection doesn’t work:
    https://www.mangiareinliguria.it/foto_cartoline_antiche.php?PHPSESSID=47becd2325fc1a20e913c6feb26f989c&id=213

    But if you change in the same link just the word PHPSESSID, for example using PHPSESSI, the redirection works perfectly as you can see here:
    https://www.mangiareinliguria.it/foto_cartoline_antiche.php?PHPSESSI=47becd2325fc1a20e913c6feb26f989c&id=213
    That means the redirection system works properly also with query parameters.

    I tried all different kind of redirection variants (contains, start with, …) but it seems that when Rank Math read in the url PHPSESSID doesn’t work.

    I have thousands of these kind of urls on google that I cannot modify anymore so it’s very important for me to have these redirections working. Please help me to find a solution, I think we need just tell Rank Math to go ahead with redirection even in presence of word “PHPSESSID” but I don’t know how do it.

    Thank you!
    Marco

    Hello,

    Thank you for getting in touch and I am extremely sorry about the trouble this might have caused.

    The URL https://www.mangiareinliguria.it/foto_cartoline_antiche.php?PHPSESSID=47becd2325fc1a20e913c6feb26f989c&id=213 is set to unauthorized. Even if you try accessing this with a private browser you will get a Unauthorized 403 error. If you modify the URL slightly like removing a letter in phpsessid, the URL redirects to 404.

    Rank math can only redirect authorized URLs that lead to a page either existing page or a 404(non-existent page). This is why it is working on one but not working on the other.

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