 * Import doesn’t work for in this plug-in. At attempt to upload CSV file with redirects
   reports:
 * > No items were imported
 * I use CSV format:
 * > /old-url.html,/,0
 * Tried such format, but also it hasn’t work:
 * > [http://sitename/old-url.html,http://sitename/,0](http://sitename/old-url.html,http://sitename/,0)
 * I use WordPress 3.0.1 and Redirection 2.1.29.
 * How to make it work?

 * There is a new beta version at [http://svn.wp-plugins.org/redirection/trunk](http://svn.wp-plugins.org/redirection/trunk)
   which fixes some CSV stuff, can you try that?

 * Are there any examples of data files that can be uploaded within Redirection?
   So, an example of a CSV file, an example of an XML file, etc? I can’t seem to
   get the CSV upload to work either. I’m having the same problem as [@makabra](https://wordpress.org/support/users/makabra/)
   and I’m using the SVN version.

 * Make sure you’re saving the file as a windows compatible .csv. I couldn’t figure
   this out for the life of me, and then . . . I saved as **“Windows Comma Separated(.
   csv)”**.
 * Hope this helps someone out. Sure woulda helped me.

 * Awesome! That helped me out. We had the same issue.
 * I hope they add this to the documentation page.
