Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with saving the redirection type 410 Content Deleted. Thank you for raising this concern.
It seems like you are experiencing a bug where the redirection does not save unless a source URL is added first. This could be related to how the redirection settings are being processed in the plugin.
Since you’ve already tried recreating the tables and removed the Rank Math transients, we recommend replying to your ticket with this detailed information. A human agent from the Rank Math Support team will be able to assist you further and investigate this issue more thoroughly.
Thank you for your patience, and we hope to resolve this for you soon!

Hello,
Our dev team released a Beta version of the plugin that fixes the redirection issues.
Please try updating to the beta version of Rank Math by following this guide: https://rankmath.com/kb/version-control/#beta-updates
If you don’t see an update available, please go to Rank Math > Status & Tools > Database Tools > Remove Rank Math Transients > Remove transients. Then, clear your caches, server, and WordPress and check again.
You can disable the Beta updates once you update to the latest version (which will be released soon) and if the issue is gone.
Let us know how this goes.
