Content & Blog Export
Exporting WordPress content cleanly: posts with images, custom post types, categories and tags, comments, and the formats (JSON, Markdown, CSV) that other platforms and AI builders can actually import.

Can I export WordPress authors to Excel?
Yes. With admin access, the REST API users endpoint returns each author to convert to a CSV or Excel file. Export name, role, bio, and their posts, and keep the file secure since it holds emails.
Can I keep my blog comments when migrating off WordPress?
Usually yes, if you export them and the new platform can hold them, or you move them to a hosted comment system. Comments live in the database, so they do not travel with the visible content unless you carry them deliberately. Plan for them before you switch.
Do my posts keep their publish dates after a migration?
Only if you carry the dates across deliberately. Many migrations reset every post to the import date, which misrepresents your archive and can disturb freshness signals. Map the original published and modified dates into the new platform, and check the dates after import.
How do I download all the pages of a website as PDF?
Crawl the site and save each page, then pick the format for your goal: PDF for a readable archive, or HTML for a portable backup you can reuse. Capture images and a URL list too.
How do I extract WordPress data, with or without Python?
You can use Python and BeautifulSoup, but most migrations need no code: the REST API or a crawler pulls every page, its metadata and media into JSON or Markdown.
How to migrate custom taxonomies from WordPress
Decide by value like tags: keep taxonomy archives that earn traffic, export the terms as data if you need faceted browsing, and 301 the archive URLs you retire.
What happens to custom fields and ACF data after migration?
Custom field data lives in the database, not the visible page. Decide whether you need the rendered output or the structured data, and export accordingly.
What happens to my RSS feed after a migration?
Your feed is a URL, so if it moves, subscribers and services pulling it can break. Keep the feed at the same path if you can, or 301 the old feed URL to the new one. Podcast feeds need extra care, since directories depend on the exact feed address.
