redirect unused permalink

Hi there,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math.

Yes, you can easily redirect this specific URL to your homepage using Rank Math’s redirection feature. Here are the steps you need to follow:

• Go to Rank Math > Redirection on your WordPress dashboard.
• Click on the Add New button to create a new redirection rule.
• In the Source field, enter /uncategorized
• Set the mode to Exact.
• In the Destination URL field, enter /
• Click on Save.

This will redirect any request from https://manahandymanservices.com/uncategorized/ to https://manahandymanservices.com/

However, if you have other empty categories on your site, you will need to create a redirection rule for each one of them. Unfortunately, there is no option to automatically redirect all empty categories at once.

But you can prevent Google and other search engines from indexing your empty categories and tags by setting them to noindex. This will tell the search engines not to crawl or display these pages in the search results. Here’s how you can do that:

• Go to Rank Math > Titles & Meta > Global Meta on your WordPress dashboard.
• Scroll down to the Noindex Empty Category and Tag Archives section and enable it.
• Click on Save Changes.

We hope this helps you solve your issue. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns about the redirection or the noindex settings. We are always here to assist you.

Thank you for choosing Rank Math. Have a wonderful day!
