I simply wanted to export posts with their media and import to a new site. There is no default setting to get everything you need for posts like author, categories, tags, etc. so you have to manually add all of that stuff. The UI for that is terrible. I finally get to the point of importing after getting through all of those extremely confusing settings. I chose to have it run in the background. I’m monitoring posts and media pages to see what’s happening. It begins adding triples, quadruples, etc. of posts and media. It placed over 4,000 images in my media folders. I quickly hit stop before it went further, and that didn’t work. I deactivated and uninstalled the plugin. It continued running whatever background script runs even after the plugin was deactivated and removed somehow. WHY is it SO hard to just find a plugin to simply move your posts and everything that comes with them to a new server?!?!

I needed to add info to a couple thousand user records and this made it SO easy. Thank you for a great free plugin!

I needed this plugin to do one thing and one thing only – export post information based on post status. I’m going to be importing the data to Asana so I can keep track of what’s important and what’s not. I saw that some reviewers thought the process was confusing – I disagree; the export process was quite simple with a variety of fields to filter and fields to export. Kudos to the developers – this is a great plugin.
