Create an excel csv file that looks like this.. * source target hits /contact/ [http://mydomain.com/](http://mydomain.com/) 0 / 6/ /6-2/ 0 /blog/ [http://mydomain.com](http://mydomain.com) – * *you can leave the hits field blank if you want 2. save all your redirections( hopefully you don’t have hundreds) 3. uninstall version 2.2.13. 4. install version 2.2.5 and import your csv file (call it module_1.csv) * mike {dot} ianni {at} kaleidico {dawt} com * [Chritchan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chritchan/) * (@chritchan) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-redirection-unable-to-export-csv/#post-2734617) * I’ve exactly the same problem 🙁 * `sitename.com/wp-admin/redirection?page=redirection.php&sub=csv&module=1&token =` * [memelab](https://wordpress.org/support/users/memelab/) * (@memelab) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-redirection-unable-to-export-csv/#post-2734618) * also having trouble with exporting from v2.2.13 * [Chritchan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chritchan/) * (@chritchan) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-redirection-unable-to-export-csv/#post-2734619) * I had to downgrade to 2.2.1O for export my datas 🙁 * [bmex63](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bmex63/) * (@bmex63) * [13 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-redirection-unable-to-export-csv/#post-2734628) * HI Everyone, * I was able to get it to work again by modifying the redirection.php file in the plugin folder. * Specifically lines: 198 to 208 * ``` function inject() { $options = $this->get_options(); if ( isset($_GET['token'] ) && isset( $_GET['page'] ) && isset( $_GET['sub'] ) && $_GET['token'] == $options['token'] && $_GET['page'] == 'redirection.php' && in_array( $_GET['sub'], array( 'rss', 'xml', 'csv', 'apache' ) ) ) { include dirname( __FILE__ ).'/models/file_io.php'; $exporter = new Red_FileIO; if ( $exporter->export( $_GET['sub'] ) ) die(); } } ``` * Save and then refresh the modules pages. You should be able to export successfully. * Cheers!

The name of the file doesn’t matter. * [Jared Pomranky](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jareddetroit/) * (@jareddetroit) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-redirection-unable-to-export-csv/#post-2734658) * Thanks bmex63 for the solution and rashadow for the clarification.
