    Hello @logologics,
    ?
    Thank you for your query and we are so sorry about the trouble this must have caused.
    ?
    Please note that Rank Math only automatically redirects the URL if the permalink was changed individually in the post edit:?https://i.rankmath.com/i/RT5UCD
    ?
    Rank Math doesn’t handle automatic redirection when you change the entire site’s permalink structure. WordPress should be able to automatically redirect it for you.
    ?
    Also, when you change the permalink structure of your website, Rank Math automatically updates the sitemap so Google will be able to see the change you have made as well.
    ?
    Checking the affected page, it seems the new URL is currently redirecting to the homepage. Can you please verify that?
    ?
    Looking forward to helping you.

    Hi,

    Thanks for helping me out.
    Yes, I have set it to redirect to homepage, in case some pages are no longer present and were not redirected manually.

    Ok, so it is normal that Rank Math does not automatically creates a redirect when permalinks are changed, but it does update the sitemap. Is it best to serve the sitemap to Google Search Console again?

    Thanks,
    Annie

    Hello @logologics,

    The plugin will only create the redirection automatically if you change the slug, not the permalink structure.
    ?
    Regarding the sitemap, if you have already submitted the sitemap before you don’t need to add it again. It will be updated automatically.

    Thank you.
