This plugin hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress.

Export Post Info

Screenshots

  • Plugin settings after install: No random string saved so no export CSV is generated.
  • Plugin settings after saving random string. String is set and export file is created.
  • Plugin settings when you access and the file is created.

Installation

  1. First you will have to upload the plugin to the /wp-content/plugins/ folder.
  2. Then activate the plugin in the plugin panel.
  3. Go to SETTINGS / EXPORT POST INFO.
  4. Save a random string to make it harder for somebody to access your exported data.
  5. Download your CSV file.

FAQ

Why did you make this plugin?

We couldn’t find a plugin that would give us the functionality we were looking for:
1) Export publish date.
2) Export word count.
3) Easy translation of the plugin into other languages. So far English and Spanish translations are included.

Why do I have to setup a random string for the name of the export CSV file?

Other plugins always export the file with the same name and in the same folder so it’s easy to access this file. We don’t want that this file can be easily found, so we decided to let you setup a random string to make the file name harder to guess.

Does Export Post Info make changes to the database?

Yes. It created an entry in the options table where the random string is stored.

How can I check out if the plugin works for me?

Install and activate. Go to settings / Export Post Info. Save random string. And download CSV file.

How can I remove Export Post Info to CSV?

You can simply activate, deactivate or delete it in your plugin management section.

Which PHP version do I need?

This plugin has been tested and works with PHP versions 5.5 and greater. WordPress itself recommends using PHP version 7.3 or greater. If you’re using a PHP version lower than 5.5 please upgrade your PHP version or contact your Server administrator.

Are there any known incompatibilities?

Yes. On a multi-language site the export will not work correctly.

Is this plugin compatible with WPML

Yes, but only the posts of the main language are exported. Post in secondary languages are not exported at this moment. We are working on this because we would like to have this feature but for us it isn’t easy to code.

Are there any server requirements?

Yes. The plugin requires a PHP version 5.5 or higher and we recommend using PHP version 7.3 or higher.

Do you make use of Export Post Info to CSV yourself?

Of course we do. That’s why we created it. 😉

It’s a shame that you have to create a plugin for such a simple operation, but this is entirely due to the lack of WordPress. Thank you for saving lives. We need people like you!

Thanks team, this is working like a charm, and as others have said, a huge time saver Just my $0.2: As in the plugin info: “Please note that only posts with status “publish”, “future” or “private” are exported.” Indeed … but because it is nicely coded and clear … just open plugin’s functions.php and comment/uncomment the correct line and you will have all other status you need
