Redirects happening that don't exist

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

Have you recently modified the the permalinks/slugs of the affected posts? This kind of redirect would happen when you have set the fallback redirection option to redirect to homepage when the slugs have been changed.
I can suggest that you head over to Rank Math > General Settings > Redirections and turn off Auto Post Redirection as shown below:

Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for getting back to me.

From inspecting the page source, I can see that the affected links do not have the category base and they work as soon as I add “fine-art-paintings” to the link.
Please disable the strip category base option under Rank Math > General Settings > Links if this is enabled.

If the issue persists, 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.

Hi Michael,

Thank you for the follow up.

I am glad that you were able to rectify this. It is however strange that the links stopped working on their own.
Please let us know if the issue pops up again so that we can investigate further.

Thank you.
