Get started nowImport and export
Overview
Export CSV saves all redirects to a file; Import CSV adds the redirects of a file. Both are in RB Plugins → Redirection → Redirects.
The format
One redirect per line, comma-separated, with an optional header line:
source,target,code,match_type,enabled,note
/old-pricing,/pricing,301,exact,1,Old menu link
/shop/,/store,302,starts,1,
^/blog/(\d{4})/(.+)$,/$2,301,regex,1,Old date-based permalinks
/discontinued-product,,410,exact,1,
| Column | Required | Values |
|---|---|---|
| source | yes | an address or a pattern |
| target | yes, except for 410 | /path or a full URL |
| code | no — 301 | 301, 302, 303, 307, 308, 410 |
| match_type | no — exact | exact, starts, contains, regex |
| enabled | no — 1 | 1 or 0 |
| note | no | any text; put it in quotes when it contains a comma |
The easiest way to see a correct file is to export once.
A redirect to a post is exported with the post’s current address.
Importing
- A redirect that is already there (the same source and kind of rule) is skipped, not doubled — importing the same file twice adds nothing twice.
- A line with a mistake — an invalid pattern, a missing target — is skipped and reported with its line number; the other lines are imported.
- Imported redirects are marked Imported.
