After a lengthy search for the ideal solution to my particular use case, I finally stumbled upon this WordPress plugin. From the moment I installed it, I knew it was exactly what I had been looking for.
The installation process was a breeze, and the user interface is intuitive and user-friendly. Anthologize was straightforward to set up and configure.

I found Anthologize quite useful after I developed a procedure to avoid the clog on media fragments the plugin generates.
1) Don’t install Anthologize in a live instance of your website.
2) A combination of Local by Flywheel and BackUp Buddy allow me to copy my live site to my PC.
3) On the PC, I load a copy of my live site. Zip from Backup Buddy.
4) I install Anthologize from a zip file.
5) I build my project. All fragments are stored in the Local Flywheel copy.
6) Create my PDF and ePub. I use Calibre for post-processing.
7) Recreate my test/development site. Delete the Anthologize Local Flywheel copy and reload the zip file. Ergo the media library fragments are gone.

Useful for some exports and helping organizing a book structure.
For TEI, you can’t change many things about the scheme, though, unless recoding the plugin.

Anthologize is an excellent plugin I used to back up my website in PDF book form.
It’s drag and drop feature to build chapters and items was very easy to use and worked flawlessley. I had my posts already set up by category so it was simply a matter of dragging them into the various chapters.
An excellent future enhancement to this plugin would be if it could capture comments as well. Kudos to those who spent countless hours developing this great plugin.

This plugin looks very promising (and just what I am looking for) based on the description, but it only produces files with a front page and nothing else.

what is this extension …

I know it says not supported for current WP version, but in trying it out anyway, I found that I had accumulated a number of entries in my media library without thumbnails, and no file name. After carefully checking my blogs for these broken images, I deleted them and rechecked – they did not belong to my blogs. I didn’t know where they came from but didn’t like it either. More testing of Anthologize recreated new broken entries in the media library – hence I ditched Anthologize. So I agree with others – don’t use this.

This plug-in generates malformed HTML (missing closing tags) and bad URLs during PDF conversion. I spent a few hours tracing carefully through the code until I got to the heart of the system, whereupon I found this comment on the core function that generates outputs: //@TODO: this is an epic mess. All I can say is that they got that right. I tried the module based on various write-ups on the web about book publishing plug-ins based on WP. This one’s often at the top of the list. I guess that was promotional optimism a few years ago. The codebase appears to be a dead orphan. At a minimum it requires someone to spend a few days or maybe even a few weeks fixing it all up. I don’t have the time. So I move on. You probably should too, unless you want to fork and maintain it. It’s useless as is.

Thank you for this plugin. Only which allow all users to export multiple posts in e-books. And support no-english characters.
But … when I export pdf, my Firefox can’t find file in location specified.
However export in epub and html work great.
Why ?

Hi! This is a great plugin apart from one thing – when active it prevents items for non logged in users being added to the Jigoshop shopping cart. Can you help? Many thanks!

With Anthologize, I was able to select multiple posts and pages from my site and compile them into a single eBook, in both PDF and ePUB formats.
Great job!

Maybe it needs updating. All I got was a blank PDF. On trying again I got a blank rtf.
For me, this plugin has been a dud. I like the design, surely there’s something fixable here?

This is actually the first free WP to PDF plugin that works pretty okay for me – thanks!
That said, there is obviously room for improvement.
– I would love to be able to see the posts in the list sorted by the creation date.
– I would love to see the subpages clustered to the parent pages.
– A more user friendly way to add a post/page to the content of the project (more like the way it works with the WP menu page!), as you now have to drag them to their right location which is a bit harder when you want to put more in the project ??
– The copyright part on the cover page of the PDF export shows the tags around it as well: <span>Copyright</span>
Keep up the good work and I’m already looking forward to future versions of this plugin.

Installed it on a simple site, current versions of WordPress and TwentyFifteen, but nothing worked. I clicked through every screen, going over the options carefully, and read the plugin information for any clues, but there was no option to export my content anywhere in the interface. Gave up. I really wanted to use this plugin so it’s a disappointment. Just a small amount of documentation would probably be all I needed.

I’m always reluctant to add plugins because of potential problems, but this worked as expected. It was simple and easy to use.

UPDATE
I so wish someone would pick up and emulate this plugin so it functions as it did – was very handy to convert blog posts into a document for publication. I’m guessing the students who created it have moved on but would be great if it was open-sourced.

I’ve had this plugin for ages but never used it. I just activated it and tested it by selecting a bundle of related posts and voila’ I have an eBook compiled and ready to finesse. I need to add an ecover (anthologise can add this to the final publication), a backpage, and to add some links. Ideally these should be already in my posts but they’re not.
The rtf file output has some rendering issues but the PDF is perfect for a basic ebook. Not tried the rest at this point.
Would be great to have some enhancements eg more space between chapter heading and topic heading etc.
Thumbs up guys – thanks.
