Sample CVS File

I would very much like a sample CVS file too.

I tried several methods of data input, even Page ID but I get invalid CVS file notice every time?

I appreciate the assistance.

Just create a CSV file with 3 columns. Place the information in the columns in this order:

Status (301,302,inactive)
Request URL
Redirect To (ID or URL)

I can’t attach a CSV file here, but if my old site was test.com and my new site was new.com, the above would read like this:

Column A: 301
Column B: http: //www.test.com/products
Column C: http: //www.new.com/products

My boss just gave me the above info – hope it helps!

*Ignore the space after the http: – had to do that to keep them from being active links here.

Sometimes a perfectly prepared CSV file will fail on windows machines because of the php function I used to parse the file trips up on the new line characters. It’s on my radar to fix for the next release.

Sometimes opening the file in a plain text editor (notepad for example) and re-saving will fix it.

The problem is how CR+LF are managed/generated for the CSV file and how php parse the csv.
We cannot change the plugin code so let’s change the CSV.
If you open the csv with a plain text editor and you see the file formatted in the right way, line by line you are near the goal.
Save as and the try after checked the separator.
If it is ; (comma) change it in a , (semicolon). This worked for me.

My procedure has been the following:

Created an excel file with three column without title.
Saved as “CSV (MSDOS) .csv” this inserted the right CR+LF EOL.
File opened with notepad replaced all semicolon with commma.
Uploaded in wp by the plugin without any error.

That’s all.

Thank you brug71! This worked for me after trying all the other ways posted here.

Here is exactly what I did in Windows:
1. Created and three column .csv file in Excel 2013
2. Saved it as .csv (ms-dos)
3. Opened it in Notepad
4. Ran a search-and-replace to convert ,,,, to ,
5. Saved it in Notepad
6. Uploaded it via the plugin.

Here is a sample file.

Can someone paste the proper format for the 301 redirects in a CSV file? The instructions on the plugin are very vague

This has been fixed in 2.2.0. Thanks for the feedback everyone! If you still have troubles please email me using the address provided in the plugin.
