Advanced Export for WP and WPMU
Posted by Ron in Note: This plugin has been submitted to the weblogtooolscollection plugin competition 2009.
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 versions 2.7 – 2.8 & WPMU 2.7.X.
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 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

The plugin can be downloaded from the plugin repository. (HT: Trent who did some early testing for me 
)

That is a great idea for a plugin. Think it’s something that belongs in WP core?

Hi,
I’ve tried the plug-in to export some of the posts at http://www.animedimension.com but the exported xml file has an error.
Here is the error message Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 71 bytes) in /h…
How can i fix this problem?

by the way, I’m using wordpress 2.8
I tested it on wordpress 2.7 and it works but not working in 2.8

I found the solution to my problem. I just edited the wp-settings.php file, went to line number 13 and changed the default memory allocation from 32MB to 64MB.
It works like a charm now! Thanks for this wonderful plug-in

I’ve written a short review of this excellent plugin in http://www.labitacoradeltigre.com/2009/06/30/ah-si-yo-hubiera-tenido-este-plugin-antes/.
I’ve checked the plugin not only in WP 2.7.1 but also in WPMU 2.7.1, and the two applications show the same behaviour: all the options and combinations of the export process work fine, except the ones implying the “Restrict Author” option.
If I choose one author, the resulting XML doesn’t include the posts, only the tags. Any idea?

Hey, first of all, this is great plugin. Im trying to export all my post from my site and without your plugin I was not able to do that. So I’ve used your plugin and export post divided by year of posting, this is great and works. But I have problem with importing. I know that’s not problem of your plugin, but if you can help me I would be glad. Problem is, that with each export all categories get doubled. So if I import all 4 my exports, I got all categories 4 times. Do you know if this can be fixed somehow? Thanks for your help

Great plugin! Was really handy for exporting categories of posts!
Hi;
Nice plugin, thanks
But i cant export a specific category. Its only restric a category. I want to export a single category. Is it possible?
hello,
I have a little wisthlist,
it´s a fantastic plugin, but…
…it´s posible to add the option to automatize it and send it to the mail??
thanks
I voted this up for inclusion into the core and finally got around to making this my pick for donate friday. Thanks again for creating it. Only took two years of begging
I’m hitting an odd problem. When running the export I get the following error message on the last line of the export file:
Fatal error: Call to a member function initializeRss() on a non-object in /home/content/a/d/m/adminweblog/html/wp-content/plugins/feed-footer/feed-footer.php on line 57
my current WP version is 2.8.4. Also the standard wordpress export functions just fine.
Any ideas?
I was wondering will there be a function in the import/export function that will allow for no duplicate categories?
For example, can there be an IF/THEN statement that sees if a category already exists, and if so it will just add to the category ( such as CDATA ) or if not it will add the whole category?
Just seeing how far the import function can go:)
Great plugin, makes very manageable WP export files! Thanks for your work!
Any chance of adding comments to the content type?
Hello, I’m running an older version of wp (2.6.2) is there anything I can do to get this plugin to work?
