Hello,

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

Our plugin doesn’t support redirecting the homepage URL. You will have to use some other redirection plugin or .htaccess redirect rules to achieve this.

Hope this helps. Let us know if you need any other assistance.
