Not finding imports

Hello @tasha34 ,

Please double check if you have exported the correct group:

Specific Redirections

or

Redirection Rules

(those two files are separate within the plugin).

Looking forward to your answer.

I exported a json file of specific redirections from AIOSEO redirection manager and uploaded them to the plugin, it says “sucess” but shows no redirects.

@tasha34 Redirections from one plugin are not compatible with another plugin, just like backup files from one plugin are not compatible with another plugin.

However you can alter the redirections file and make it compatible with our plugin. I suggest that you make an example redirection with Redirection plugin, export it, convert to CSV with a tool like this and then paste the redirections from another plugin so that they match the format. Afterwards convert back to json and import to Redirection plugin.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards

The plugin has an “Import” feature, which is why I chose it in the first place. It should be able to transfer over redirects from another plugin and use them the way this particular plugin does. I have had this done before using AIOSEO redirect manager. Seeing that I no longer wished to pay $500 a year for their plugin anymore, I needed to downsize, but keep my redirects. Even if the import feature was a paid feature, I would get it just to save my redirects. It’s useless to me if it cannot use the redirects I exported from AIOSEO Redirects Manager via a JSON file. I will try another plugin and hope it works. Thanks for getting back to me even though it seems we are in two different time zones.

Hi @tasha34

We had users that successfully migrated redirections from other solutions, including Excel files and other plugins as well.

Nevertheless there is conversion needed that you have to setup manually on your own or with your developer, our redirection JSON template is pretty simple.

In any case, we never said that our plugin support formats of plugins, it’s more rather that you can migrate, or restore existing redirection rule set from our plugin to our plugin.

Here you can find example for these redirections:

1. https://first.from.domain?->?https://first.to.domain
2. https://second.from.domain?->?https://second.to.domain
3. https://third.from.domain?->?https://third.to.domain

Here’s example JSON file for these redirections: https://hastebin.com/share/irunucosow.json

You also need to adjust (increment) ID of each redirection.

Feel free to study that JSON structure and perform some automated operation which will generate all entires of your previous solution.
