Our analysis

AI-assisted

Advanced Export for WP & WPMU is a WordPress plugin that allows you to create multiple export files containing sections of your blog. It offers various options for exporting content based on date range, author, category, content type, post status, and blog tags or categories.

This plugin is suitable for users who need to manage large export files and want more control over the content they export. However, it is important to note that the functionality provided by this plugin was incorporated into the built-in export feature of WordPress starting from version 3.0.

Best for: This plugin suits users who need specific export options for older versions of WordPress or WPMU.

What it does well

  • Allows export by date range, author, category, content type, and post status
  • Generates multiple export files for easier management
  • Optional restriction options for tailored exports

Where it falls short

  • Functionality is largely redundant due to built-in export feature in WordPress 3.0 and later
  • Last updated in August 2015, may not be compatible with newer versions beyond 4.8.30
  • Limited support available through WordPress Forums

Verdict

While it offers useful features for exporting content, its redundancy with the built-in export functionality may limit its appeal for users on newer versions of WordPress.

From the developer

Ron Rennick's own description of Advanced Export for WP & WPMU, lightly tidied.

The functionality in this plugin was incorporated into the built in export feature in WordPress 3.0

Working with a single large export file can be difficult. Use this plugin to create multiple export files that contain sections of your blog. This plugin has been tested on WP & WPMU versions 2.7 – 2.8.4. The plugin may work on earlier versions of WP/WPMU.

All restriction options provided in the plugin are optional. If no restrictions are selected, this plugin generates the same export file as the export feature built into WP & WPMU.

Features

Export by any optional combination of:

  • Date Range – Start & end month/year
  • Author – Same as WP/WPMU built-in export
  • Category – Export a specific category
  • Content type – Choose either posts or pages
  • Post status – Choose Draft, Published, Scheduled or Private
  • Blog Tag/Category Terms – Choose whether to include the blog’s complete list of Tags and/or Categories

Support can be obtained through:

WordPress Forums
