Simply Export Your WordPress Content Plugin

A lightweight WordPress plugin that exports your published content — pages, posts, and custom post types — into clean RTF or Markdown files. All shortcodes, HTML tags, images, and iframes are stripped automatically, leaving you with pure, readable text.

Why You'll Love It

Choose Exactly What to Export

Unlike generic export tools, this plugin lets you pick individual content types. Exporting a blog but not the shop product pages? No problem. Just check the boxes you need — pages, posts, WooCommerce products, custom post types, anything.

Two Output Formats

Format	Best for
RTF	Microsoft Word, LibreOffice Writer, translation tools
Markdown	AI tools, Notion, Obsidian, GitHub, knowledge bases

Build an AI Knowledge Base from Your Website

This is where the plugin truly shines. Export all your content to a single Markdown file, upload it to Google Drive or any knowledge base tool, and connect it to your AI assistant (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.). In minutes you have an AI that knows everything on your website — and can answer questions about your products, services, or articles.

Workflow:

1. Export → Markdown
2. Upload .md file to Google Drive / Notion / your AI tool
3. Connect the document to your AI assistant
4. Done — your AI now speaks with your voice

Safe by Design

The plugin is read-only — it never writes to or modifies your database.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it export draft or private posts? No — only published content is included.

Will it work with page builders other than Divi? The plugin strips all shortcodes (not just Divi), so most page-builder markup is removed. Results may vary with block-based builders like Elementor that store HTML in the post content.

Can I export WooCommerce products? Yes. WooCommerce products are a custom post type — just check the "Products" checkbox in the export form.

Is the plugin safe? Yes. It only reads from the database and never modifies anything. It requires administrator privileges to use.
