# Root Redirection Capturing Elementor Requests

 * I tried to temporarily redirect the root `/` to the landing page on the same 
   domain and ran into an issue when editing Elementor Pro templates. The redirection
   plugin also redirects all Elementor scripts. 
   Are there any ignore settings available
   to prevent this issue? Thanks!

 * You will need to modify the redirect you created so it doesn’t match whatever
   the other plugin is using. I don’t know what that is, but the plugin does provide
   a [range of features](https://redirection.me/support/) to help with matching.
   There isn’t a specific setting for your situation.
 * I would start by trying to identify what the other plugin is doing and why it
   might be matching.

 * Thanks for a quick reply. I will try to test it more later.
   For now I switched
   from the plugin rules to the .htaccess to ignore elementor requests on a templates
   editor page.RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/$RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^post_type
   =RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^elementor
