Redirect did not work after enabling Auto Post Redirect

#623508
  • Resolved Anonymous
    Rank Math free

    I changed the permalink structure of the site and after doing that, I enabled “Auto Post Redirect” feature but it did not setup the redirect. Do I have to enable it first before changing the permalink for it take effect? It’s been 10 minutes and I don’t see the old urls redirecting to the new one.

    Additionally, If in the future, I decide to uninstall the Rankmath plugin, what happens to the redirects which are setup?

  • Hello,

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

    Please note that the auto post redirection from Rank Math only works for the slug of the URL, not for the permalink structure or the actual base.

    In this case, you’ll have to create the redirections manually, or if possible, you can create a regex redirection on your website after changing the permalink structure. For more details on regex redirection, you can check this URL: https://rankmath.com/kb/how-to-use-regex-redirects/

    If you’re not sure how to create the regex redirection, you can share some old and new URLs of your website so that we can assist you in creating this.

    Regarding the uninstall, you can safely do it because all the data are saved on your database. So, even if you uninstall the Rank Math plugin, you’ll not lose any of your settings or redirections.

    Hope that helps and please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions.
     
    Thank you.
