Hello,
We are test-driving RankMath as an alternate to Yoast SEO Pro. Though I have found forum posts that parallel our question, I have not been able to apply the suggested solutions to our scenario for a successful resolution. Also in the knowledgebase I came up empty. Hoping for a little help here.
We want to change our site’s custom permalink structure from: /blog/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/ to: /%postname%/ and redirect requests for posts under the old permalink structure to the new.
Is there a regex redirect that can help us with this in RankMath? We have quite a few posts, so manually redirecting each would be quite labor intensive.
Appreciative for any tips.

Hello,
If you want, we could take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.
It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:

You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):

We really look forward to helping you.
Yes, very nice. Thank you for sticking this out with us. Inbound referrals for the old permalink structure now 301 redirect to the new.
In case it’s helpful for others dealing with the same issue, one thing we didn’t try (and probably should have) was removing the starting forward slash in the reg-ex redirect, i.e.: we had “/blog/” = “\/blog/…” in reg-ex, but in the functioning script “/blog/” translates to “blog/”. In any case, thanks for the patient help. I’ll mark this as resolved.
