Description
FMH Exporter is a lightweight, secure, and easy-to-use tool that allows WordPress administrators to download a ZIP backup of any installed extension directly from the Plugins page.
Whether you want to migrate a specific extension to another site, keep local backups before updating, or simply inspect code files, this tool adds a convenient “Export ZIP” link to every item in your list.
Features:
* One-click ZIP downloads for any installed extension.
* Handles both single-file extensions and complex multi-folder extensions.
* Secure: Uses WordPress nonces and capability checks.
* Prevents path-traversal attacks (users can only export registered items).
* Memory efficient: Generates ZIP files on the fly using your server’s temporary directory.
Installation
- Upload the
fmh-exporterfolder to the/wp-content/plugins/directory, or install the extension through the WordPress plugins screen directly. - Activate the extension through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
- Go to the ‘Plugins’ -> ‘Installed Plugins’ page.
- Click the new “Export ZIP” link next to any item to download it.
FAQ
-
Does this work for single-file extensions?
-
Yes, the tool automatically detects if an item is a single PHP file or a folder and zips it accordingly.
-
Does it require any special server setup?
-
It requires the
ZipArchivePHP extension to be enabled on your server. Most standard web hosts have this enabled by default.
