wp-csv

I was hesitant to try a plugin that hasn’t been updated but as I have 3000 entries to tidy I desperately needed to export my site as CSV including tags and categories. This is usually a feature to pay for so I wanted to thank the author for keeping this in the repository. I’m still editing the files so am not sure how the import will go, but essentially I am now abe to strip junk code from entries, remove unneeded information and streamline my blog (including getting it all ready for a domain move (bulk edit url here we go!) I may need another tool to allow me to create new tags and categories but the export has been everything I needed.

20 minutes to export one single post + failed to recognise a csv file on import = binned

I think this is the only free plugin available to import and export any posts in WordPress. If you can handle some technical things this is the best plugin to import or export unlimited posts even custom posts. Thanks to the author. All the best.

As long as you’re familiar with the intricacies generally involved in proper CSV formatting and issues related to text file based importing into and exporting from databases, this is the tool you’re looking for to shlep content from one site (or host) to another without any need to mess around with database scripting. It’s has very clean operation and performs very well. I just can’t overstate the importance of the above opening qualifier, so I’m repeating it here: if you’re a web pro, this is your life saver. If you don’t know what database scripts are, or what CSV actually stands for – stay away. Just… Stay away. And above all, don’t blame the author for the inevitable results when you don’t heed this sincere but necessary advice. It’s a professional tool for professionals; it’s a bit like Apple has its particular quirks that design pros learn to understand first, then appreciate, and finally come to evangelize with unrelenting zeal. So there you have it: this plugin literally saves souls (even when you also hate the misuse of “literally”). Anyway. Just remember the first bit of this review and you’re good.

Shut the front door! You just saved me HOURS! I needed to pull all posts that were private from a website. I was then planning on going through them to see if they were noindex or not, but this tool pulled that info for me too. Awesome-sauce!

Excellent, great plugin, wonderfull!!!
