Redirection from RankMath – not in Redirection table

    Rank Math free

    Hi,

    We were recently asked to disable RankMath briefly and we found that a redirect we have on our site is 301 redirecting to the homepage. We have looked through the redirection table for rank math and we don’t have any redirections in there. What we don’t understand is that the X-Redirect-By field says Rank Math.

    Can you shed any light on where we can look for the redirect?

    [moved to sensitive data section]

    Thanks for your help.

    Hello,

    I apologize for the issue you are facing with the redirection on your website. If you are experiencing a 301 redirect to the homepage even though there are no redirections listed in the Rank Math redirection table, there could be other causes for this unexpected redirection.

    To investigate further and identify the source of the redirect, you can follow these steps:

    1. Check for Other Redirection Plugins Installed:

      • Verify if you have any other redirect plugins installed that might have configured this redirect. If found, delete them immediately and check if the issue is resolved.

    2. Check .htaccess File for Redirects:

      • Check your .htaccess file using the Rank Math plugin. Navigate to WordPress Dashboard → Rank Math SEO → General Settings → Edit .htaccess. Look for any additional redirection rules in the file and delete them if found.

    3. Check for Redirections Created with Rank Math:

      • Review any manual redirects created using Rank Math’s redirection option. Ensure there are no misconfigured “broad redirects” causing the issue.

    If after following these steps, the issue persists, please let us know, and we will assist you further in resolving the redirection problem.

    Thank you for reaching out with your concern.

    Best regards.

    Hello,

    Thank you for your patience.

    This usually happens when the Redirect Attachments option is enabled on your site, and you have a media or attachment URL with the same slug.

    If that is the case, you can re-upload the media with a different file name (/upnt) or at least rename the attachment URL to a different slug.

    Let us know how this goes.
