Getting data out of WordPress is the mirror problem of getting it in: reports, product feeds, migrations, backups of structured content. WP All Export Pro handles the outbound side with the same philosophy its import sibling applies to inbound — a drag-and-drop builder where you pick the post type, drag fields into a column list, and download a clean XML, CSV, or Excel file. No SQL, no custom export scripts, no half-broken plugin exports that skip custom fields.
The builder understands WordPress data structures: custom post types, meta fields, taxonomies, images, and relationships all appear as draggable elements. Filters narrow the export set by any field value, and scheduled exports re-run on cron with FTP or email delivery — the standard setup for feeding a price comparison engine or a fulfillment partner. It is the natural counterpart to WP All Import Pro, and the pair covers complete round-trip data workflows.
Competitive Features
- Drag-and-drop export builder — compose the exact column set visually: pick fields from posts, meta, taxonomies, and media, and reorder them freely
- Any post type, any fields — exports understand custom post types and every meta key, including serialized and ACF-style data
- XML, CSV, and Excel output — one export produces the format each destination needs, with element naming control for XML
- Filter-driven exports — export only records matching field conditions — by category, stock status, date range, or any meta comparison
- Scheduled exports with delivery — cron-based re-runs delivered by email or FTP/SFTP, powering recurring feeds without manual steps
- WooCommerce-aware — with its add-ons, orders, refunds, and product data export with commerce-specific structures
- Round-trip compatible — exports in the same structure WP All Import consumes, making site-to-site moves trivial
Key Features
- Export builder with live preview — see the first rows of your file as you build the column set, catching mapping mistakes before the full export
- Meta field flattening — complex and serialized meta fields export as clean columns rather than raw serialized strings
- Image URL handling — media exports as URLs or packaged files, per the destination’s expectation
- Filter interface — combine field-based conditions with and/or logic to define exactly which records export
- Scheduling engine — cron-based re-runs with email and FTP delivery, plus manual one-click exports
- Order and customer exports — export WooCommerce orders, customers, and refunds with their meta when the add-on is active
- Export templates — save an export configuration and reuse it, so recurring reports are one click away
Comparison with Competitors
WP All Export Pro vs built-in WordPress exporter
| Feature | WP All Export Pro | WordPress built-in export |
|---|---|---|
| Formats | XML, CSV, Excel | WXR (XML) only |
| Field selection | Column-level control | Full content dump |
| Custom post types | Full support with meta | Limited |
| Filtering | Any field condition | None |
| Scheduling | Cron with delivery | None |
The built-in exporter is a migration tool. WP All Export is a reporting and feed tool — the difference is control over what leaves the site and in what shape.
WP All Export Pro vs WP Data Tables (display-focused tools)
| Feature | WP All Export Pro | WP Data Tables |
|---|---|---|
| Direction | Data leaves the site | Data displays on the site |
| Output | Files for external systems | Rendered front-end tables |
| Scheduling | Recurring exports | Manual refresh |
| Best for | Feeds and backups | Visitor-facing tables |
One moves data outward, the other presents it on-site. Data-heavy projects frequently use both for different audiences.
Recommended Stack — pair WP All Export Pro with WP All Import for full round-trip workflows, and on WooCommerce stores add the order-export add-on for accounting feeds. For presenting exported data back on the site, a tables plugin covers the display side.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can it export custom post types and their meta?
Yes. Every registered post type with all its meta fields, taxonomies, and images is exportable — the builder lists whatever the data structure contains.
Which output formats are supported?
XML, CSV, and Excel, produced from the same export configuration, so one setup serves multiple destinations.
Can exports run automatically?
Yes. Scheduled exports re-run on a cron schedule and deliver the file by email or FTP, which is the standard setup for product feeds and recurring reports.
How does it handle serialized meta data?
The export flattens serialized fields into clean, readable columns rather than exporting raw serialized strings, and version 1.9.15 specifically improved nested-array flattening.
Can I export only part of my content?
Yes. The filter interface narrows exports by any field condition — category, date range, stock status, or arbitrary meta comparisons.
Is it compatible with WP All Import?
Yes. The two are designed as a pair: an export from one site imports directly into another, which makes site migrations and staging-to-production syncs straightforward.
