Redirects not working on new server

    Hi,
    I migrated my site from FlyWheel to WPEngine. I have about a dozen subdomains pointing to the server and redirects set up via RankMath… but they’re not working. Apart from adding the plugin WPMail SMTP, nothing has changed. WPEngine advised I reach out to RankMath support to resolve… any ideas on why this won’t work? It’s critical functionality for our client I don’t want to purchase Yoast…

  • Hello,

    We apologize for the issue you are facing with the redirects not working after migrating your site to WPEngine. This can sometimes happen due to server configurations or caching issues that may not be compatible with how Rank Math handles redirects.

    Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:

    1. Check Server Configuration: Ensure that your server settings allow for redirects and that there are no conflicting rules in your .htaccess file or server configuration that might override Rank Math’s settings.
    2. Clear Cache: If you have any caching plugins or server-side caching enabled, clear the cache to ensure that the latest changes are being reflected.
    3. Debugging: You can use Rank Math’s debug redirection feature to help identify any issues with the redirects. This can provide insights into why certain redirects may not be functioning as expected.
    4. Update Rank Math: Make sure you are using the latest version of Rank Math, as updates often include bug fixes and improvements.

    If these steps do not resolve the issue, please reply to this ticket with your site URL so we can assist you further. A human agent from our support team will take over and provide more specific guidance based on your setup.

    Thank you for raising this concern, and we look forward to helping you resolve it!

    Hi, thank you! I ended up putting in Regex redirects for the subdomains, so it’s all good now. Thanks!
