Redirecting to Homepage instead of Specified URL

Hello,

I’m sorry to hear that you are facing issues with your redirects not working as expected and the debugger tool not popping up. This can be frustrating, but we are here to help you resolve this issue.

To address the problem of your redirects redirecting to the homepage instead of the specified URL, you can follow these steps:

1. Check Redirect Rules: Verify that the redirect rules are correctly set up in Rank Math. Make sure there are no conflicting rules or errors in the redirection settings.

2. Debug Redirections: Enable the Debug Redirection feature in Rank Math. This will help you diagnose and fix unwanted redirections. You can find this option in Rank Math SEO > General Settings > Redirections.

3. Use Debugger Tool: If the debugger tool is not popping up when you try a redirect, ensure that you have enabled the Debug Redirection feature as mentioned above. The debugger tool should provide insights into why the redirects are not working as expected.

If you continue to experience issues after following these steps, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we appreciate your patience as we work to resolve this issue for you.

Best regards.

Hello,

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

Could you please share some affected URLs with us so that we can check the issue further for you?

However, if these pages are attachment pages then please head over to your WP Dashboard > Rank Math > General Settings > Links, and from there disable the Redirect Attachments option and see if that works for you.

Let us know how it goes. Looking forward to helping you.

Thank you.
