[Rank Math SEO Plugin] Trailing slashes getting removed from redirect rules

Recommended Posts

Hey guys. Awesome plugin, thanks for your hard work!

The biggest issue I face with it though is that the redirection part is completely broken. Importing redirects from Redirection plugin messed up all the redirects - none of them is working properly afterwards. Fe. some rules were redirecting home to an inner page because Rank Math somehow changed them during import (no such rule existed in Redirection).

Now even without an import from Redirection it doesn't seem to be possible to get redirects working properly.

When I add say this rule: https://i.imgur.com/wbi4AF8.png

It will end up like this after saving: https://i.imgur.com/4qvAueq.png

... which breaks the redirect rule and also results in a redirect chain because for some reason Rank Math keeps removing the trailing slash from the destination URL.

Hello,

Apologies for a delayed response.

I have updated the plugin to the latest version.

After taking a backup, can you please remove all the redirections from Rank Math and import the redirections again from the Import/Export tab?

Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting MyThemeShop today.

Rank Math does not show trailing slashes at the end of the redirections. However, all the redirections are working just fine.

Hope that helps. If you have any further question(s), please let us know.

I'm sorry, but I wouldn't open a ticket if this would be working just fine like you say.

Please see redirect with ID 4.

I added it with a trailing slash after the destination URL, which got trimmed. And it's not only trimmed in the GUI like you say, but actually redirects to the URL without trailing slash, resulting in a redirect chain.

Awesome, thanks a ton! Certainly no reason to apologize - 4 days for a fix that include a weekend is amazing considering this is free. Most dev teams of commercial software probably would have needed longer to close a critical vulnerability than you took to fix this bug that seems to be isolated to specific setups (I assume you would have catched it much sooner otherwise).

It all works as expected now. Thanks again!
