Hi @finnwulf ,
We understand your redirects are still working even after switching to the free Yoast SEO.
Do you know if you changed the default redirect settings to .htaccess redirects? If so, you’ll find the 301 redirects by editing the .htaccess file in your site’s root directory.
You can edit the .htaccess file directly on your server using FTP or a server file manager. Please contact your WebHost for assistance if you have trouble uploading or editing files on your server.
If you cannot find any redirects on your .htaccess file, please try clearing your site/server cache to see if it’s just a cache issue.
Hi,
I’ve tried both solutions before writing here.
I’ve noticed this behaviour in relation to WPML. Redirects are effective only when YOAST is active on the website. Deactivating the plugin removes the redirects. While WPML is involved the redirects are related to YOAST, as while using another SEO plugin they don’t take place.
I’m now using the free version and I don’t have access to the pro plugin anymore.
After more testing, the problem appears to be related to Yoast SEO Multilingual.
Hello @finnwulf
Just to confirm, this issue occurred with the Yoast SEO Multilingual plugin? Did you already resolve the issue with the redirects?
Yes, it’s correct. Yoast SEO Multilingual is activating the Yoast redirections in the free version if you had a pro version previously installed. Tested on http://redirectcheck.com/index.php. Working on this with their support.
If you could write what to search on the db to remove I think it will be faster.
Hi,
The redirects store in the wp_options table where the column option_name is wpseo-premium-redirects-base. So, if you’d like you can look up the redirects into your database. If you are not sure how to do that, please contact your host provider.
hi, that solved the problem. thanks.
@finnwulf What are you trying to specifically locate in the database? The redirects themselves, or a setting for the redirects?
I just deleted wpseo-premium-redirects-base and that solved the problem. Thanks.
