1. In the left column of the wordpress dashboard, hover over “Rank Math” and select Redirections option
2. On this page, click Add New in the top left corner to open the redirection form.
3. In the form, ensure the following fields are filled out:
   1. Source URL
      1. This is the OLD page that no longer exists. You can paste either the absolute URL (ex. https://example.com/test123/) OR the relative URL (ex: /test123/) for the page into his field.
      2. If you have multiple pages that need to be redirected to the same page, you can press the “Add another” button here as well to input multiple source URLs.
   2. Destination URL
      1. This is the page that the OLD URL should redirect to. You can paste either the absolute or relative URL in this field.
   3. Redirection Type:
      1. Here you select the type of redirect. The default option is 301, which is typically the only type we will be using, so ensure this is selected unless communicated otherwise.
   4. Status:
      1. You can use this field to either hold a redirect in a sort of “draft mode” or to temporarily disable it while debugging issues.
      2. In this case, you will want to ensure that this is always set to “active” for each new redirect you are adding.
4. Save your work
   1. Be sure to click the blue “Add Redirection” button to complete setting up the redirect.
   2. Repeat the process for each new redirect being added, clicking “Add New” for each.

Notes:

1. Do not add redirects to staging URLs. We should only set redirects while on the live site.
2. Be sure to QA each redirect once you are done to ensure that it is behaving correctly.
3. Be very careful when setting up redirects for entire sections of a site. Create a quick backup of the site in WPEngine beforehand just to be safe.
