## Description

SScribe Export Site Pages turns your WordPress pages and posts into documents you
can edit, print, archive, or hand over. Pick the content, choose the formats, and
download one ZIP with a file for every page.

Use it for client handovers, content audits, translation work, compliance records,
and offline copies of a site.

#### Four formats in one export

 * **Word (DOCX)** with a cover page, page details, headings, lists, tables, and
   images. Opens in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, and LibreOffice.
 * **PDF** in A4, Letter, Legal, or A3, with images, tables, and page numbers.
 * **HTML** as one styled page per item, with meta description, canonical, and robots
   tags.
 * **Markdown** with YAML front matter for documentation sites and static site generators.

#### Built for real sites

 * Export pages, posts, and public custom post types, filtered by status and language.
 * WPML, Polylang, and TranslatePress: export one language or all of them.
 * Right-to-left output for Arabic, Persian, Urdu, and other Arabic-script languages.
 * SEO titles and descriptions from Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO, SEOPress,
   and The SEO Framework.
 * See the page count, estimated time, and file size before you start.
 * Large exports run in small batches and continue after a page reload.
 * Export history with download, log, and bulk actions.

#### Private by design

 * Archives and logs are kept in a protected folder and served only through single-
   use download links.
 * Capability, ownership, and nonce checks on every request.
 * Archives expire after 72 hours and are cleaned up automatically.
 * Exported content never leaves your server. See External services below.

#### Requirements

 * WordPress 6.2 or newer
 * PHP 8.2 or newer
 * PHP extensions: cURL, DOM, GD, XML, and ZIP
 * Session encryption: Sodium, or OpenSSL with AES-256-GCM support
 * 256 MB of PHP memory is recommended for large PDF exports

### External services

SScribe does not connect to Simplix Innovations or any third-party service, and 
it does not send exported content anywhere. During an export it may issue HTTP GET
requests for images only, through the WordPress safe HTTP API. By default the request
goes only to your own site host so that a Media Library file that cannot be read
from disk can still be embedded; other hosts are blocked. A developer can add approved
hosts with the `sscribe_allowed_image_hosts` filter. Those requests send standard
HTTP request metadata, such as your server’s IP address, to the fetched host, so
review the terms and privacy policy of any host you add.

### Privacy

SScribe stores short-lived export sessions, page queues, and security audit records
in the WordPress database, and archives and operational logs in a protected folder
inside the uploads directory. Archives expire after 72 hours by default; sessions
and logs are cleaned on a schedule. The plugin registers WordPress personal-data
exporter and eraser callbacks for user-linked records. Exported page content is 
not transmitted to Simplix Innovations.

Operational security records can include an HMAC-protected representation of the
request IP address, user ID, action, timestamp, and result. They are used to enforce
rate limits and investigate export activity.

### License

## FAQ

### Which content can I export?

SScribe exports WordPress pages, posts, and registered public custom post types.
You can narrow an export by post type, post status, and, when WPML, Polylang, or
TranslatePress is active, language.

### Does SScribe support RTL languages?

Yes. The exporters detect RTL languages and apply direction-aware document structure
and fonts. The admin interface also supports WordPress RTL mode. In RTL PDFs, links
are shown as styled text and list bullets sit on the left; DOCX keeps both fully
RTL.

### Does SScribe work with WPML, Polylang, or TranslatePress?

Yes. Export one language or all, with language metadata and RTL output. TranslatePress
pages are translated into the selected language.

### Can a large export resume after the browser closes?

Yes. Export progress and the complete normalized page-ID queue are stored in expiring,
non-autoloaded WordPress options. Reopening the export can continue from the saved
offset while the session remains valid.

### Where are exported files stored?

Archives, temporary files, and logs are kept in `wp-content/uploads/sscribe-export-
site-pages/` inside a per-site folder with a random name. Each folder gets `.htaccess`(
Apache), `web.config` (IIS), and `index.php` deny files, and archives are only served
through single-use, permission-checked download links. On nginx, add a deny rule
to your server block:

    ```
    location ~* /uploads/(sites/[0-9]+/)?sscribe-export-site-pages/ { deny all; }
    ```

Developers can move storage elsewhere with the `SSCRIBE_PRIVATE_STORAGE_DIR` constant.

### How long are archives kept?

Completed archives expire after 72 hours by default and are removed by scheduled
cleanup. A site administrator can delete an archive sooner from Recent Exports.

### Who can download an export?

Only an authenticated user with the delegated export capability can download an 
archive that user owns. Download links use single-use tokens tied to the archive
record and never expose the storage path.

### Does SScribe send content to an external service?

No. Exported content stays on your server. The only outgoing requests are optional
image downloads, described under External services.

### What happens when the plugin is uninstalled?

Uninstall removes plugin options, scheduled hooks, saved export sessions and page
queues, private archives and logs, and any recognized legacy export directory. Deactivation
alone keeps data so exports can resume after reactivation.
