Roial Redirect CSV Importer

Description

Roial Redirect CSV Importer lets you manage HTTP 301 (and 302) redirects directly inside WordPress — no need to edit .htaccess or configure server rules.

Key features:

Import redirects in bulk from a CSV file (source, target, status).
Download a ready-to-fill CSV template from the admin panel.
Add single redirects manually via a simple form.
Edit or delete any redirect from the list.
Enable or disable individual redirects without deleting them.
Export all redirects back to CSV at any time.
Lightweight — redirects are matched with a single indexed database lookup.
No bloat, no tracking, no external requests.

CSV format:

source,target,status
/old-page,/new-page,301
/another-old,https://example.com/new,301

The status column is optional; it defaults to 301.

FAQ

Does this plugin modify .htaccess?: No. Redirects are handled entirely in PHP via WordPress’s template_redirect hook.
What happens if I import a CSV with duplicate sources?: Duplicates are skipped and reported in the import summary. The existing record is kept unchanged.
Can I import a URL from another domain as the source?: No. The source must be a path on the current WordPress site (starting with /).
Is the plugin multisite compatible?: Each site in a Multisite network gets its own redirects table, so the plugin is compatible, though it has not been specifically tested on Multisite.
What is the difference between deleting and disabling a redirect?: Disabling (Active: No) keeps the record in the database but stops it from firing. Deleting removes it permanently.
