 * Why I try to import, it will import the first line and thats all. v5.1.2 WP 4.3
 * Some of the lines from my text file. (I exported current redirects and added 
   to that file to ensure the same format.)

 * Brian,
    For some reason, your text file had improper line break characters. I
   fixed the file you sent to me and sent it back to you – it should work for the
   import now.
 * Always make sure to use a plain text editor for editing the redirects (or adding).
 * Warm regards,
    Don

 * Just in case anyone has difficulties with this in the future, I was creating 
   the file on textedit for the mac, and the Unix txt format wasn’t working.
 * I put my file through [http://www.fileformat.info/convert/text/unix2dos.tr](http://www.fileformat.info/convert/text/unix2dos.tr)
   and it then was working fine.
