    I checked with Screaming frog and GSC and realized that i got redirect 301 /302 issues of somepaages.

    e.g. [ redundant link removed ]

    However, this post link has been changed and i am not sure how i can handle this matter. I cant delete this post as this post is no longer existing.

    Another page with redirect issue is :

    /category/uncategorized/feed/

    Why does it relate to redirect issue?

    thanks.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi there,

    It’s likely that something on your site is controlling the redirection – taking your example page ( https://soraregame.com/8-best-tips-for-sorare-cap-240/) it appears from the headers that Rank Math is doing it on this page, you can see the headers by running curl -IL on the URL and looking for the x-redirect-by header:

    curl -IL https://soraregame.com/8-best-tips-for-sorare-cap-240/
    HTTP/2 301
    server: nginx
    date: Mon, 11 Sep 2023 10:30:28 GMT
    content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
    location: https://soraregame.com
    expires: Wed, 11 Jan 1984 05:00:00 GMT
    cache-control: no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0
    x-redirect-by: Rank Math
    x-httpd-modphp: 1
    host-header: 8441280b0c35cbc1147f8ba998a563a7
    x-proxy-cache-info: DT:1

    Hope that helps 🙂

    e.g. https://soraregame.com/8-best-tips-for-sorare-cap-240/

    The HTTP response header Paul provided shows the link is being directed to the homepage by the Rank Math plugin.

    I cant delete this post as this post is no longer existing.

    If you try any random non-existing URL on the site, you’ll see it gets redirected to the homepage as well.

    So it seems the Rank Math plugin has been configured to 301-redirect non-existing pages to the homepage, instead of returning the standard 404-Not-Found status code and page.

    Another page with redirect issue is :

    https://soraregame.com/category/uncategorized/feed/

    Again, Rank Math.

    In this case, the redirection is happening because you’ve configured the Rank Math plugin to remove the /category/ prefix that WordPress automatically adds to category permalinks.

    So the default permalink is being redirected to https://soraregame.com/uncategorized/feed/

    — and this should be the correct behaviour according to your configuration.

    So what should i do to delete those pages that are not existed?

    You need to get into your Rank Math plugin’s settings and configure the various options according to your needs. But note that not all redirections are bad: if it’s serving a desired purpose, then leave it alone and don’t disable it just because some tool tells you to.
