Hello,

I apologize for the confusion you’re facing with the redirection process. To redirect a PDF file to a specific blog post using Rank Math, you can follow these steps:
1. Redirect the PDF File URL to the Blog Post URL:
  - Go to your WordPress dashboard.
  - Navigate to Rank Math > Redirections.
  - Click on “Add New Redirection.”
  - In the Source URL field, enter the URL of the PDF file: `https://rankmath.com/kb/should-you-redirect-attachments/#how-to-redirect-attachments-with-rank-math
  - In the Destination URL field, enter the URL of the blog post: `https://rankmath.com/kb/should-you-redirect-attachments/#how-to-redirect-attachments-with-rank-math
  - Save the redirection.
2. Verify the Redirection:
  - After saving the redirection, you can test it by opening the PDF file URL in a browser. It should automatically redirect to the specified blog post URL.
If you encounter any issues or need further assistance with this process, please feel free to reach out to our support team. We are here to help you with any questions or concerns you may have.

Thank you for your understanding and patience!

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that this issue might have caused.

Unfortunately, our plugin doesn’t support redirecting the URLs of the wp-content path. You will have to use .htaccess file for such redirections. Here is a guide that can help: https://karenattfield.com/redirect-pdf-wordpress/

Here’s how you can edit the .htaccess file using Rank Math:

Please do take a backup before editing your .htaccess file.

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

Thank you.
