Selectively export and import pages, posts, and custom post types from the WordPress admin list tables.

== Description ==

Export Only the Content You Select lets you export and import WordPress content directly from the admin screens you already use every day.

Author: Ariel Hernández Friz — https://arielhf.cl — hola@arielhf.cl

= Export =

1. Go to the Posts, Pages, or any compatible custom post type list.
2. Select the items you want to export.
3. In Bulk actions, choose Export.
4. Download the generated .wpcontent file.

Large selections are processed in background batches with a progress screen to avoid timeouts.

= Import =

1. On the same list screen, click Import.
2. Upload a .wpcontent file.
3. Review the detected content and compare differences when items already exist.
4. Choose which items to import and how to resolve conflicts.

Imports also run in batches with a progress bar for large packages. When the package comes from another domain, you can remap source URLs to the current site.

= What the package includes =

• Posts, pages, and exportable custom post types
• Metadata (postmeta)
• Taxonomies and terms
• Featured image and related attachments
• Media files embedded in the package

= Conflict policies =

• Skip
• Update
• Duplicate
• Compare differences (review title/slug/date, then skip existing items)

= Compatibility =

• WordPress 6.9 or higher
• PHP 7.4 or higher
• Basic Gutenberg content
• Elementor pages (meta + media ID remapping)
• ACF field values (image, file, gallery, relationship remapping)

This plugin does not send data to external services. All export and import processing happens on your WordPress site.

Development

Source development repository: https://github.com/ahernandezfriz/arielhf-select-content-export

== Installation ==

1. Upload the arielhf-select-content-export folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu.
3. Use Export in Bulk actions or Import on the content list screen.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does the file include images? =

Yes. The .wpcontent package includes media files detected as dependencies of the exported content.

= Can I import only some items from the package? =

Yes. The import wizard lets you select which items to import.

= Does it work with Elementor or Divi? =

Elementor pages are supported: _elementor_data and related meta are exported, and media IDs are remapped on import. Divi advanced support is not included yet.

= Does it work with ACF? =

Yes. ACF field values are exported with the post. Image, file, gallery, post object, and relationship IDs are remapped on import when possible.

= Do I need the WordPress XML exporter? =

No. This plugin uses its own .wpcontent format based on compressed JSON.
