FAQ
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.
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.
Yes. It created an entry in the options table where the random string is stored.
Install and activate. Go to settings / Export Post Info. Save random string. And download CSV file.
You can simply activate, deactivate or delete it in your plugin management section.
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.
Yes. On a multi-language site the export will not work correctly.
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.
Yes. The plugin requires a PHP version 5.5 or higher and we recommend using PHP version 7.3 or higher.
Of course we do. That’s why we created it. 😉
