What needs to be in the CSV import?

I took a look at the import code. Basically you just need 2 columns, no need for headers. First column with the source url, and second column with the redirect/target url.

If no headers the plugin will assume that’s a 301 redirect, match = url only, action = redirect to url, will check for regex, and use the group you selected before clicking on import.

That’s exactly how I have my CSV setup, but it doesn’t work. After I import, it says 132 redirections created, but nothing shows in the Redirect tab. It is supposed to let me chose what kind of redirection I want, and it doesn’t either. Is it working on your end @p10design?

It worked for me. I imported over 2000 redirects from a csv file. I had what you described happen to me once. It said it imported about 100 items, but it imported them all wrong. I think it was due to some excel formatting. I then switched to google sheets, and after I exported from there I didn’t touch it again. If you are using excel, try using another tool that only works with csv files. I think there are some available online. You can also check the database… this plugin creates 4 tables in the WP database. Checking the database might help you find out the issue. It’s possible that the data was imported, but not attached correctly to group, or maybe the data was not imported at all. The plugin does not seem to have much error handling.
