[[Rank Math SEO Plugin] Redirect Category to Tags and other "strange" redirect]

Hi  Montgomerie,

Thanks for the reply, that option is on as I want to remove the category slug in the new setup. Maybe i did not explain well  i need to redirect the incoming traffic from   /category/  to /tag/ and use the regex option https://regex101.com/r/B0PR5c/1 

So www.website.com/category/this-is-cat  redirect to www.website.com/tag/this-is-cat   

When i place the regex it place [ ]  and it is not working

Cheers

Hi,

This is my first website with your Rank Math Plugin (tested on some "old" ones) but i see some " strange" things going on and not sure if your plugin does this.

 

1. I have some old post imported with www.website.com/news/this-is-a-post-test  and without doing anything it is automatically redirected to www.website.com/this-is-a-post-test  I remember i had plugin some time ago that looked to match the post and redirect automatically.  Is this function done by your plugin ?  (this is what i needed but i can't find any configuration for that in your panel.

2. I want to change the category to tags and made the following regex in your system 

Source :  [category\/(.*)]

Destination : www.website.com/tag/$1

But it is not working!     

https://regex101.com/r/B0PR5c/1  i see the system place [  ]  and i can't remove it.  How do I fix this?

 

Cheers

 

 

[[Rank Math SEO Plugin] Some questions about your plugin]

Hi Montgomerie,

Happy new year. Thanks for the tip.  There is one other regex that could create problems and that is old "tag" with only www.example.com/this-is-tag_t   (where _t is the tag) and looks like it redirect some old files to the login page. https://example.com/wp-login.php?reauth=1&redirect_to=https://example.com/wp-admin/   and the regex recognize the _to=  How to I filter only the _t and not _to ?

[[Rank Math SEO Plugin] Some questions about your plugin]

Hi,

thanks for the link but if you see https://regex101.com/r/3nSbIl/2  how to remove the /mobile/ always as you can see there many possibility or must i make desktop versions and mobile versions of each ?

With this regex you can do magic but looks like also  destroy a lot as i thought first impression works.  But if i check the logs i see even "traffic" comes in with links like 

See here https://regex101.com/r/kx9wsi/3  is it possible with regex to get until &  as this search is always between  ?q=search &  where from & is page info and can be removed in the destination.

 

cheers

Hi Montgomerie, 

 

Thanks for the quick reply.  Will give it a go on a test envoirement first.  The regex looks perfect if i test it so that is great, the only problem is that i have also /mobile/ version of each link so there exist a "desktop" and "mobile" version

https://regex101.com/r/q1gAmh/4

what is best way to remove the /mobile/ as they could appear in each link ?

So https://www.example.com/mobile/ must be https://example.com 

 

_t is tag
_c is category
_h is page
_p is post

 

 

[[Rank Math SEO Plugin] Some questions about your plugin]

Hi,

Checking and testing your plugin and looks very impressive.

• Some questions does it works in Spanish language ?
• Is there a shortcode for the Breadcrumbs?

And one of the most challenging one is about the option redirections ?

I run a old "CMS" system with 19800 post that have own structure and think your redirection option can solve most of it!

Old link structure examples :

_t is tag
_c is category
_h is page
_p is post

?q=  is search

http://www.example.com/this-is-a-tag_t.html > http://www.example.com/tag/this-is-a-tag
http://www.example.com/this-is-a-category_c.html > http://www.example.com/this-is-a-category

or http://www.example.com/this-is-a-tag_t_p7.html > http://www.example.com/tag/this-is-a-tag/page/7

http://www.example.com/this-is-old-page-system__h_7>www.example.com/page/7

but there are some more "exceptions "

The old CMS had old mobile landing

http://www.example.com/mobile/this-is-a-tag_t.html > http://www.example.com/tag/this-is-a-tag

http://www.example.com/this-is-a-tag_t_p7.html > http://www.example.com/tag/this-is-a-tag/page/7

or search http://example.com/?q=search-words&p=222  >  http://example.com/?s=search-words

http://example.com/mobile/?q=search-words  >  http://example.com/?s=search-words

 

I think that first i must remove the word /mobile/ in any url. Is there a way of set priority ?  So first "action" find all /mobile/ and remove ?

Any help would be appreciated 

 

Cheers
