Description
Neutrope Quick Export adds a simple Tools Neutrope Quick Export screen and a “Export selected to CSV” bulk action to your post, page, and public custom post type lists. It is built for everyday production work: SEO inventories, content audits, and client-facing lists — not heavy migration.
The plugin is intentionally small and stays out of your way:
- Lightweight. It loads only in the admin area and adds nothing to your front end.
- Read-only. It never writes options, post meta, custom tables, or scheduled events. Exporting changes nothing on your site.
- Excel-friendly CSV. Files are UTF-8 with a BOM so multi-byte text (including Japanese) opens correctly in spreadsheet apps.
- Privacy first. User e-mail addresses, login names, and comment-author data are never exported.
- Respects the standard interface. It only adds a Tools screen and one bulk action. Existing screens and actions are left untouched.
- No ads. No upsells. No “Pro” nag screens. No external requests. No tracking.
How it works
- Tools Neutrope Quick Export — Choose post types, statuses, an optional published/modified date range, and a maximum row count, then download a CSV.
- Bulk action — On any post, page, or public custom post type list, select rows and choose Export selected to CSV.
Columns
Every export includes these columns:
post_idpost_typetitleslugurlstatuspublished_datemodified_datecategoriestags
Featured image columns are on by default (a single checkbox on the Tools screen) and add useful, low-risk information for pre-migration audits. Only metadata is exported — never the image file itself:
featured_image_idfeatured_image_urlfeatured_image_filename
These optional columns are off by default and can be enabled on the Tools screen:
excerptcontentauthor_display_name(the author’s public display name only)
What is intentionally not included
- User e-mail addresses, login names, and comment-author information are never exported.
- Image files themselves are never downloaded, exported, or bundled — featured image columns hold only the attachment ID, URL, and file name.
- No import, restore, XML/JSON/Markdown output, WP-CLI, REST API, scheduled exports, or external/cloud integrations in this version.

FAQ
-
Which file format does it produce?
-
A UTF-8 CSV with a byte order mark (BOM). The BOM lets Excel and other spreadsheet apps detect the encoding so multi-byte text is not garbled.
-
Does it export private data?
-
No. User e-mail addresses, login names, and comment-author data are never exported. The only person-related field is the author’s public display name, and it is off by default.
-
Does it download or export the featured image file?
-
No. The featured image columns contain only the attachment ID, URL, and file name — metadata that already exists in your database. Image files are never downloaded, exported, or bundled, and no external request is made. You can turn the featured image columns off with a single checkbox on the Tools screen.
-
Which post types can I export?
-
Posts, pages, and any public custom post type that has an admin list. On the Tools screen, custom post types are labelled “Custom post type: ” so they are easy to recognise, and the “Export selected to CSV” bulk action is available on each of those list screens.
-
Who is allowed to export?
-
Only users with the WordPress export capability (administrators by default). The bulk action additionally confirms that you can edit each selected item before including it.
-
Does it change anything on my site?
-
No. Neutrope Quick Export is read-only. It does not create options, post meta, custom tables, or cron jobs, so there is nothing to clean up on uninstall.
-
Is there a limit on how many rows I can export?
-
The Tools screen lets you set a maximum row count, capped at 10,000 per export to keep memory and time predictable. The bulk action exports exactly the items you selected.
-
Does the plugin connect to any external service?
-
No. There are no external requests, no tracking, and no analytics of any kind.
