    Hi, can I import redirects in .txt format? I’m looking to switch to this plugin from Quick Page/Post Redirect Plugin. That plugin only lets me export redirects in .txt format. Thanks.

    You will need to convert your file into a format that Redirection supports. Have a look at your .txt file and see how the redirects are stored. A CSV file is just a text file, and you may be able to convert it to CSV.

    Thanks for the reply John. The redirects look like this, one per line:

    Can I copy and paste each line as is into CSV format and import into your plugin?

    Ok, so it looks like it using the pipe character to split the source and target URL. If you replace the | with , and then rename the file to .csv it *should* import.

    Thanks John! I’ll try that. Sorry, one last thing. What about these characters at the end of every line?

    |0|0

    Should I keep those?

    I don’t know what they are, but if you replace all | with , then they will also be replaced, and Redirection should just ignore them. You can also delete them yourself if it causes problems.
