    Hello, I am having an issue with redirections tool in your plugin.

    I have descivored a lot of my pages getting a Google 404 error because somehow WordPress adds a string “void(0)” at the end of the link. These url are considered 404 for Google bot.

    I tried a 301 permanent redirect from myurl.com/void(0) to myurl.com but it seems not to be working. I dont see any progress at all, in fact Google after 5 days turned down my redirects.

    Any help?
    Thanks
    Giorgos

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

    Hello @giorgoskey,

    Thank you for your query and we are so sorry about the trouble this must have caused.

    The following rules will redirect all URLs with /void to the folder that contains it:
    Source URL: (.*)/void(.*) Type: Regex Destination URL: https://mysite.com/$1/
    Let us know how that goes. Looking forward to helping you.

    Hello again, I hope I did it right. Please check the image and let me know.

    I got a question about the destination url. $1 means the path of the page. For example if my page is mysite.com/mypath/void(0) then this redirect will have a destination url mysite.com/mypath/ as I want it to do?

    Thaks

    Hello @giorgoskey,

    Yes, you’re correct.

    The redirect you have in your screenshot works exactly the way you have described.

    Looking forward to helping you.

    Hello again, thanks for your help. Do you have any clue how much time Google bot takes to see these redirect/changes?

    I read it can take from days to many weeks. My page is small has about 54 pages in sitemap and 18 404 which is no good.

    thanks

    Hello @giorgoskey,

    According to Google guidelines, crawling can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. The crawling and indexing depend on the authority and crawl budget of the website.

    In this case, you may need to give Google some time to recrawl your site and apply the changes on the search results pages.

    Hope that helps.
