WPGeared Better Export
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 1.4
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 1.4.3: A Clearer Admin Workspace
Choose content and filters beside a manual export preview. Review matching counts, sample rows and the estimated size, then select Download WXR , Download CSV , or View data table . Compact category/tag selectors support multiple choices; the layout stacks on smaller screens. The Import tab uses the same layout while retaining saved progress, pause and recovery controls.
New in 1.4.0: Resumable WXR Import
The Import tab uploads XML in 256 KB chunks, checks it in bounded sections, and imports content in short requests with saved progress. Choose author mappings, download media, pause or cancel, return later, and retry failed items. Media downloads and image processing run separately; temporary download errors receive up to three attempts with pauses. The completion report distinguishes complete, skipped, and failed records.
Keep the plugin page open while processing. Temporary connection failures retry automatically with increasing pauses and a saved-progress check before repeating work. Recovery waits for the previous worker to finish and stops after 20 retries or ten minutes, with an actionable error. Closing the page stops scheduling new batches; reopening the Import tab resumes jobs that were running. Deliberately paused or cancelled jobs stay stopped until you select Continue . Expired login sessions require signing in again and reloading the page. This limits peak work, but importing still consumes server resources. A single image operation or another plugin’s hooks can exceed the normal batch target.
Supported: WXR 1.0–1.2; posts, pages and registered content types; registered taxonomies, comments and their metadata; plain and serialized array/scalar custom fields; featured images, attachment parents, and known imported links. Core media block IDs are remapped when the installed WordPress version provides block serialization. Serialized objects, menus, revisions, site settings, users/passwords, arbitrary plugin-specific ID references, and external side effects triggered by other plugins are outside this importer’s migration guarantees. Authors map to existing users without creating accounts. Existing matching terms are reused without overwriting their descriptions or metadata.
Import requirements and limits: PHP DOM/XML; transactional InnoDB WordPress tables (SQLite integration is also supported); available database space for the XML and normalized staging records, potentially several times the XML size. Maximum file 512 MB, individual XML record 8 MB/20,000 tags, nesting 64 levels, and 500 source authors. Media files are limited to 20 MB and images to 20 megapixels, with an additional memory check. Media URLs must be publicly reachable HTTP(S) URLs and files must pass WordPress’s allowed-file checks. Missing dependencies and oversized/unsupported records are reported rather than silently dropped.
