Hello,
I apologize for the issues you are facing with redirect errors on Google. It seems like you are experiencing problems with your videos not being indexed correctly, even after reposting them with the word “video” in the title and URL, and using Rank Math’s instant indexing feature.
To address the redirect issues you are encountering with Rank Math, you can follow these steps:
-
Check for Strange Redirects: If you notice strange redirects inside your 404 Monitor, it might be due to various themes, plugins, or scripts on your site requesting files or paths that do not exist. You can safely ignore these errors if they are not affecting your visitors’ experience. However, if you find these errors in Google Search Console as well, it’s advisable to fix them.
-
Review Redirections: Ensure that your redirections are correctly set up in Rank Math. You can manage your redirections by going to WordPress Dashboard → Rank Math SEO → Redirections.
If the issue persists or you need further assistance, please feel free to reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you promptly.
Thank you for reaching out to us with your concerns. We are here to help you resolve these redirect issues effectively.
Best regards.

I had to deactivate your plugin. Nothing I tried fixed the many re-directs. I have brought this up in the past to no avail. So lets see how things go without that many redirects.
Hello,
Can you share some of the product pages reported by the Google Search Console to be redirecting? We activated Rank Math temporarily and the URLs you had redirected with our tool were working correctly.
However, the “Video is not the main content of the page” is a recent error Google started showing on Google Search Console where Google requires that the video be the main or primary content on the page for it to show your video in video mode, not just as video thumbnails in the search results.
According to Google:
The video is not the main content or primary focus for this page; only videos that are the main content of the page are eligible for indexing. Here are some examples of page types where the video is supplementary to the textual content, and not the primary focus of the page:”
– A blog post where the video is complementary to the text rather than the primary content of the page
– A product details page with a complementary video
– A video category page that lists multiple videos of equal prominence
We would recommend you follow this thread where Google product experts have discussed the solution to this error: https://support.google.com/webmasters/thread/252395207/observation-video-is-not-the-main-content-of-the-page?hl=en
Hope that helps, and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
