Post Type Exporter

Wordpress Plugin for exporting a list of custom post type entries to a CSV or XLS file.

Support default and ACF Fields.

Configuration

Plugin settings can only be changed using filters for the moment.

Post Types

The plugin is only exporting posts by default. You need to use the pte_post_types filter to add / remove post types. Let's say you want to add the export feature to pages and a custom post type with slug my-cpt :

function my_post_types( $post_types ){
    $post_types = array(
        "my-cpt" => array( // Post Type Slug
            "fields"        => array(
                'post_date'     => __('Date', 'wordpress'),
                'post_title'    => __('Title', 'wordpress')
            ),
            "fields_acf"    => array(
                'field_1'       => __('Field 1', 'my-text-domain'),
                'field_2'       => __('Field 2', 'my-text-domain')
            )
        ),
        "page" => array(
            "fields"        => array(
                'post_date'     => __('Date', 'wordpress'),
                'post_title'    => __('Title', 'wordpress')
            ),
            "fields_acf"    => array(
                'field_A'       => __('Field A', 'my-text-domain'),
                'field_B'       => __('Field B', 'my-text-domain')
            )
        )
    );

    return $post_types;
}
add_filter( 'pte_post_types', 'my_post_types' );

For each post type, array keys represents the fields to export, and array values represents the corresponding column title in the exported file.

Export type

By default, the plugin is exporting xls file. But it is also possible to change this to csv using the pte_export_type filter :

function my_export_type( $type ){
    return 'csv';
}
add_filter( 'pte_export_type', 'my_export_type' );

Only csv and xls are supported values for the moment.

Export file name

Export file name can be changed using the pte_export_filename filter :

function my_export_filename( $filename, $post_type ){
    return 'foobar-'.$post_type;
}
add_filter( 'pte_export_filename', 'my_export_filename', 10, 2 );

Other hooks

pte_capability : filter to change the capability needed to display the export form. Default is 'manage_options'.

pte_values_separator : filter to change the separator for ACF multiple values field (like checkboxes, etc.). Default is ', '.
