Export all URLs from a WordPress site with Export All URLs
If we go to the dedicated plugin page (the path is: Tools then Exports all URLs ), we see the next in a screenshot:
In the screenshot above which comes from the WordPress Plugin presentation page, we see that we can export:
- Absolutely all front-end URLs of the WordPress website
- that you can Filter addresses to only export certain web addresses
The Export all urls filters are:
- The type of post, that is to say that we can export for example only the articles or only the urls of the pages or even urls of product pages, of personalized/custom posts (CPT)
- That we can decide which fields to export with the urls (practical for future analyzes via excel spreadsheet or google sheets, etc.)
- To filter or not posts and pages by publication status (published, draft, etc.)
- To export the urls in .csv format (the only format offered via the plugin) to save them locally or on any cloud product or to display them on this same page
Why export the URLs of a WordPress site?
Here are the reasons for exporting the URLs of a WordPress site cited by the author of the Export All URLs plugin:
- To check all the URLs on your site
- During a migration
- During a security audit
- To share the URLs with an SEO pro (or agency)
- To control 301 redirects
In this case, there are other reasons to use an export of URLs from a WordPress site. In particular to analyze to enrich the file exported in CSV. And :
- Working with others on an Excel/Google Sheets file on an existing WP web project
- Follow the progress per url of a redesign project and /or putting a staging version online
In reality, it doesn’t matter what reasons push a person to export the URLs of a website running with WordPress 🙂 What matters is being able to do it quickly and for free, without any hassle! And this plugin, Export All Urls, meets this need.
My experience with the Export all Urls plugin
The plugin is super practical for finishing or partial exports on the fly. It’s perfect if you want to go quickly and choose which fields to show in your WordPress URL export.
What I like:
- you can only use the plugin for a short time to do the export and then remove it!
- it is free and free !
- it is well rated
In short, it is a perfect plugin for a one-off or more frequent need. Which just does what it is installed and activated for, namely exporting part or all of the web addresses (=urls) of a WordPress website :)!
