Filter content by type, status, date, author, category, tag, and item limit, then export posts and pages as WordPress WXR or export public content types as CSV. #### New in 1.3.0: Preview Before You Export Version 1.3.0 adds an export preview to both the WXR and Data Export tabs. Click** Preview Export** to review the result before starting the download. * See the total number of items matching your filters. * See how many items will actually be exported after applying an item limit. * Confirm the active content type, statuses, dates, author, taxonomies, fields, and output settings. * Inspect up to five sample items using the values prepared for the export. * Review an estimated output size before downloading. * Change a setting and the previous preview is cleared automatically, preventing stale results from being mistaken for the current selection. Preview and download use the same validated filters and CSV value preparation, helping the preview accurately represent the export you are about to create. The size is an estimate based on the sample and may vary from the final file. #### Highlights * Preview matching content, selected settings, sample rows, and estimated size before exporting. * Export straight to **WXR** for migrations or **CSV** for spreadsheets, reporting, and BI tools. * Targeted filtering by date range, post status, taxonomy, author, post type, and limits. * Select exactly which CSV columns to include, including relative URLs and featured images. * Built-in quick presets (Last Month, This Year, etc.) keep repetitive workflows fast. * Familiar WordPress-style interface so teams can adopt it without training. #### Key Features * **Export Preview**: Check matching and effective counts, active settings, sample rows, and estimated size before downloading * **Dual Export Formats**: Export posts and pages as WXR for migration, or export public content types as CSV for analysis * **Advanced Filtering**: Filter by date range, post status, categories, tags, author, content type, and item limit * **Selective Field Export**: Choose from 18 CSV fields so the file contains only the data you need * **Featured Images**: Include featured-image attachment data in WXR or export the image URL as a CSV field * **Quick Date Presets**: Apply common WXR date ranges such as Last Month, This Month, and This Year * **Custom Filenames**: Choose the downloaded CSV filename * **Browser Table**: Display selected data in the browser when a downloadable CSV is not required #### WXR Export Export filtered posts or pages in WordPress WXR format for migration between WordPress sites.

WXR can include: * Full post/page content * Categories and tags * Comments * Custom fields * Featured images with attachment data * Author information #### CSV Export Export posts, pages, and public custom post types as CSV for data analysis, reporting, or external use. Preview the selected columns and sample values first.

Go to **Tools Export Posts**, select your filters, and click “Export Posts (WXR Format)” or use the **Data Export** tab for CSV format. ### Can I export pages or CPTs? Yes. The WXR tab exports posts or pages for WordPress migration. The Data Export tab exports posts, pages, individual public custom post types, or an “All Types” selection that combines them. ### Will featured images be included? Yes, when you enable “Include Featured Images” in WXR export, all attachment data is included so images download during import. CSV exports can include the Featured Image URL column. ### What format should I use? * Use **WXR** for migrating content to another WordPress site. * Use **CSV** for data analysis, reporting, or external use. ### How many columns can I export in CSV? You can choose from 18 fields, including ID, title, URL, taxonomies, author data, dates, status, post type, comment count, and featured image URL. Only the selected columns are included. ### Can I check an export before downloading it? Yes. Click **Preview Export** to see how many items match, how many will be exported after applying the limit, the active settings, up to five sample rows, and an estimated output size. Changing any export setting clears the previous preview so stale results are not shown. ### How do I export very large datasets safely? Start with **Preview Export** to check the matching count and estimated size. For a large result, narrow the date range or use the item limit to create smaller exports, such as 500 items at a time. Very large sites may still be subject to their server’s PHP memory and execution-time limits. ### Do I need special permissions? Anyone with the standard WordPress **export** capability (Editors and Administrators by default) can run exports. Use a role manager plugin if you need to grant that capability to custom roles. ## Aanbevelings There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “WPGeared Better Export” is oopbron sagteware.
