Import / Migrate

Doing this you wont lose your old URLs structure so your site position on search engines wont be affected.



On Import/Migrate page of AceSEF we can see 5 parts to upload files. 2 for AceSEF, 1 for JoomSEF, and 2 for sh404SEF. You can import SEF URLs and Meta tags of AceSEF and JoomSEF from one place, but for sh404SEF you have to import each of them from different places. You can also import Moved URLs of AceSEF.

Firstly let’s see how can we get the files we want to import.

AceSEF

For AceSEF’s file go to SEF URLs or Moved URLs page. Here you can select URLs one by one and then click on “Export Selected” button, or you can filter URLs then click on “Export Filtered” button and the file containing URLs will be downloaded as “acesef_urls.sql” for SEF URLs or “acesef_moved_urls.sql” for Moved URLs.

JoomSEF

We use the same method for JoomSEF too. Go to “Manage SEF URLs” from JoomSEF Control Panel. Here you can select one by one each URL and click on “Export Selected” or you can filter URLs then click on “Export All Filtered” and the file will be downloaded as “joomsef_custom_urls.sql”.

sh404SEF

For sh404SEF URLs you should go to control panel, click on "Import/Export URLs" icon then click on "Export redirections" and the file will be downloaded as “sh404SEF_sef_urls.csv”.
For sh404SEF Meta Tags you should go to control panel, click on "Meta tags" icon then click on "Import/ export META" in the right top and at least click on "Export Meta tags" button then file will be downloaded as “sh404SEF_meta.csv”.

Importing

To import all these files to AceSEF you just have to browse the file and click on import button. AceSEF will realize all changes automatically.
