WPGeared Better Export helps you create focused, predictable exports instead of downloading everything and sorting it out later. Filter content by type, status, date, author, category, tag, and item limit, then export posts and pages as WordPress WXR or export public content types as CSV.
New in 1.3.0: Preview Before You Export
Version 1.3.0 adds an export preview to both the WXR and Data Export tabs. Click
Preview Export to review the result before starting the download.
- See the total number of items matching your filters.
- See how many items will actually be exported after applying an item limit.
- Confirm the active content type, statuses, dates, author, taxonomies, fields, and output settings.
- Inspect up to five sample items using the values prepared for the export.
- Review an estimated output size before downloading.
- Change a setting and the previous preview is cleared automatically, preventing stale results from being mistaken for the current selection.
Preview and download use the same validated filters and CSV value preparation, helping the preview accurately represent the export you are about to create. The size is an estimate based on the sample and may vary from the final file.
