Permanent redirection

    Hey guys,

    I have already set up a peramente redirection directly in RankMath for over a year (see picture).

    The reason for this was that I changed my permalink structure. From post name + date to post name only.

    The redirection had also worked great so far.

    However, since about a week I receive numerous 404 messages. (see picture)

    What is going on there? Why does this not work anymore? This is a disaster for SEO.

    I urgently ask for help.

  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.

    I’ve checked the slugs in the 404 Monitor, but they seem to be redirecting fine.

    From your screenshot, it seems that they were accessed by bots judging by their timestamp. You can get further insight into them by enabling the advanced monitor at WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > General Settings > 404 Monitor:
    https://rankmath.com/kb/monitor-404-errors/#advanced-404-monitor

    That will give you more information like referrer and user-agent. You can use that information to track down the source or find out if it is just bots generating those errors.

    Hope that helps.

    Thank you.

    All of this Bots?

    Hello,

    Thank you for the additional information.

    We can see from the “Benutzer-Agent” column that most of the errors in your report are generated by bots and not by real visitors. These can be safely ignored.

    However, we also noticed that some of the URLs in your report are not redirecting properly. For example, we tried visiting the URL (/2019/12/11/iphone-versicherung-anbieter) and it showed a 404 error instead of redirecting to the correct page.

    We can help troubleshoot this but we’ll need access to your website. Could you please follow these steps to share your login details with us securely?

    We appreciate your cooperation and patience. Thank you for choosing Rank Math.

    Hey ?

    Hello,

    We appreciate your patience as we worked on resolving this issue for you.

    We have made some changes to your Regex source and added a caret (^) at the beginning. This should fix your redirections and make them work properly. Here’s how we updated your Regex source:

    Old Regex: /([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{2})/([0-9]{2})/(.+)
    New Regex: ^([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{2})/([0-9]{2})/(.+)

    Please check it on your side and let us know if everything is working fine now.

    We’re always here to help you with anything else you need. Thank you for choosing Rank Math!
