# JSON Import Not Working

 *  Resolved [jryanjp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jryanjp/)

 * [3 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/json-import-not-working/)
 * I’m trying to import a list of redirects in JSON format. I exported a sample 
   file from the plugin, then I used that exact format to create the entries I need.
   However, I’m getting the error “Total redirects imported: 0 Double-check the 
   file is the correct format!” It is not providing any useful feedback for where
   the error in the file is. My JSON is properly formatted and contains all the 
   fields from the original export file. All I did was change the actual redirect
   data.
 * Is there a help file or any documentation on this feature? Here is my JSON below.
   I’ve tried it without the “plugin” and “groups” entries, since we already have
   those in the database, but that didn’t work either.
