Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing. Yes, it is possible to redirect part of a URL using Rank Math. You can achieve this by creating a regex redirection to remove the specific part of the URL structure.
To remove a certain part of your URLs, you would set up a redirection like this:
-
Navigate to Redirections: Go to WordPress Dashboard → Rank Math SEO → Redirections.

-
Add a New Redirection: Click on the Add New button.

-
Set Up the Regex Redirection:
- In the Regex Source URL, enter:
^blog/TAXONOMY-OLD/(.*)
- In the Destination URL, enter:
/blog/$1
-
Activate the Redirection: Make sure to set the status to Activate and then click the Add Redirection button.
This setup will redirect any URL that matches https://rankmath.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/remove-category-base-option.jpg to
https://rankmath.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/remove-category-base-option.jpg effectively removing the TAXONOMY-OLD
part from the URL.
