    Hello Rank Math Team,

    First of all, I really enjoy using your plugin!!

    I have an issue that I am not sure how to resolve.
    I going in a few months to launch a new product that customers are going to use on my main domain – finito.co.il.
    Until the product is ready (4-5 months) I want to advertise the blog of the company and start working on SEO.

    Now I want to create a temporary redirect from my home page finito.co.il to finito.co.il/blog, how can I do that?

    Thank you

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and we are glad you are enjoying using the plugin.

    If we understand you correctly, you want site visitors to visit your blog when they visit your home page at finito.co.il.

    You don’t need a redirect for this.

    Simply head to WordPress > Settings > Readings and change your homepage settings as shown in the image below

    1) Select your ‘Blog page’ as the homepage if you have set up a page to display your blog posts.
    OR
    2) Choose the ‘Your Latest Posts’ option to display all your blog posts.

    Following these would set your blog page as the homepage. Then when you are done, you can change the setting back.

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

    Thank you.

    Hi Adetayo,

    Thank you for your answer.

    Unfortunately, the solution that you suggest to me not working.

    I want the home page that I build will be the home page of the blog (as he looks) and not some archive blog posts page on it.

    Think about that like this – every time someone tries to get to finito.co.il he will arrive at finito.co.il/blog and it will have the same look as the page (finito.co.il)

    *One thing that is important for me to mention is that I am using Elementor plugin + hosting

    Please I really need your help with this,

    Thank you,

    Hello,

    Thank you for your patience.

    Apologies for the inconvenience and delay as we currently have a high volume of tickets here in our support forums.

    You may need to set a redirect for your domain/homepage to your blog.

    However, Rank Math’s redirect feature does not support domain-level or homepage redirections.

    In this case, you may create the redirect using .htaccess or your hosting to redirect the domain itself.

    The .htaccess redirect will look like this:

    RedirectMatch 301 ^/$ https://finito.co.il/blog/

    Please create a copy of your current .htacess file for backup before modifying your .htacess. You can also get in touch with your web host for assistance as it is a sensitive file.

    Hope that helps.
