Hi
is there a way to quickly export the sitemap urls from 4seo?
There isn't such thing, the sitemap itself is an export of the selected URLs. What's the purpose?

Hi Yannick,
The purpose for us is that we have been doing a lot of site migrations where we are also reorganizing the links, and we need to create 301 redirects. and we usually have been doing them in the htaccess file, its been pretty easy doing it that way, especially when we can easily get a clean url list. know what im saying? any advice on this process you think?

Hi
I would just look up a "sitemap to txt" converter. I've never have a need for that but it looks like it can be done in Excel for instance: https://elite-strategies.com/video-convert-sitemap-xml-txt/
Of course, you can also do redirects in 4SEO with generic rules, it's usually more efficient than listing many URLs when there are patterns.

Hi again,
This one, https://www.seowl.co/sitemap-extractor/, seems the easiest to use for your purpose.

Hi
You're welcome! What's your process after that? You just copy/paste URLs one by one in an .htaccess file based on your changes? Do you do many changes at a time typically?

yea, we are able to add "Redirect 301 /url /newurl" pretty quickly and efficiently - i think the hardest part was getting the clean url txt
typically its been pretty easy, but haven't done a project with more than 100 links, which i think we will actually have to do one of those here shortly. haven't looked at any patterns, just not sure at the moment how hard that process will be.

Hi
Well, patterns allow you to redirect a bunch of URLs with one single command. Say you renamed a category, or moved one product family, or changed your menu structure, you can do things like:
- /blog/old-cat/{*} -> /blog/new-cat/{*}
- /shop/bikes/{*}mountain-bikes{*} -> /shop/outdoor/{*}mountain-bikes{*}
- /legal/terms/{*} -> /terms-{*}
So it's way more powerful than just redirecting URLs one at a time, while being way more easy than getting to grip with .htaccess regular expressions syntax to do the same.
