Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with updating your redirections in the Rank Math plugin. It sounds frustrating that the changes are not being saved despite your efforts to troubleshoot.
Since you’ve already tried re-creating the database tables and clearing the cache, here are a couple of additional steps you can consider:
-
Check for Plugin Conflicts: Sometimes, other plugins can interfere with the functionality of Rank Math. Try deactivating other plugins temporarily to see if that resolves the issue.
-
Enable Advanced Mode: Ensure that you have enabled Advanced Mode in Rank Math. This can sometimes help with saving settings properly.
-
Inspect Console for Errors: Open your browser’s developer tools (usually F12 or right-click and select "Inspect") and check the console for any JavaScript errors when you try to update the redirection. This might give you clues about what is going wrong.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, we recommend replying to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will take over and assist you further.
Thank you for your patience, and we hope to resolve this for you soon!
I’ve tried all the things I’ve been asked to do. Here’s a screenshot of the errors I see when I press F12. https://share.zight.com/04un5jRZ

Hello,
Assuming you are using the latest version of all the plugins and the themes (please update if not yet), it would seem like a conflict with one of the plugins or the theme you are using.
To determine that, please follow this troubleshooting guide:

Here is a video you can follow as well:

Only the site admin would know and your users won’t be affected by this troubleshooting.
If the issue persists, please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress & FTP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.
Please do take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.

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:

We really look forward to helping you.
Hello,
I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?
Thank you.
Jeremy, I did as you requested per the video you sent. Even with disabling all but RankMath and siwtching my theme to Twenty Twenty Four, the redirection feature won’t update.
Hello,
The temporary login URL you shared took us to a 404 page. Kindly review the login credentials and revert to us so we can investigate this issue further.
We look forward to helping you.
Thanks.
Hello,
It looks like WordFence is blocking our routes.

Please follow this guide to whitelist Rank Math routes. If you need Rank Math’s API endpoint, you can find it here.
Don’t hesitate to let us know if you need help with anything else.
That’s interesting, I don’t even have WordFence installed on my site. Could this be something my server host has installed at their level?
Looks like my site is a subdomain of another. I’ve updated the setting in that plugin. You should have access now. Please try and let me know if you need anything else from me. Thanks!
Hello,
That’s interesting indeed. But it looks like the error is no longer showing and the redirections is also now saving. Here’s a test redirect we added:

Don’t hesitate to let us know if you need help with anything else.
Yep, it worked for me too. Thanks for the help. Any idea what the problem might have been?
Hello,
It appears the host probably implemented a firewall on the server level since formerly the updateRedirection route was being blocked. This might have been temporary as it is no longer being blocked.
If this issue reoccurs you can reach out to your host to whitelist Rank Math following this guide: https://rankmath.com/kb/whitelist-rank-math-in-wordfence/.
We hope this helps. Please let us know if you have further questions or concerns.
