 * Hey
 * What about suggesting adding your plugin to core as a feature plugin?
 * Feature plugins in 4.2 and beyond
    [https://make.wordpress.org/core/2015/01/13/feature-plugins-in-4-2-and-beyond/](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2015/01/13/feature-plugins-in-4-2-and-beyond/)
 * It would be great if one could download the full media library as a feature that
   is part of core.

 * If you can post in the thread today suggesting your plugin that would be great.
   Then it can be mentioned in the developer chat later tonight.

 * Your welcome..:)
 * I am thinking that downloading media should just be a simple button someplace
   in the backend.
 * Perhaps in Settings – Media and/or someone directly on the Media Library screen.
 * There is a special core plugins chat on the following Tuesday (very very late
   India time) so you can check the logs afterward.

 * Btw
    What about working with the guy who has made Export Plus: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/export-plus/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/export-plus/)
   and [https://github.com/hlashbrooke/Export-Plus](https://github.com/hlashbrooke/Export-Plus)
 * Do also check: [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/27048](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/27048)
 * It would be great to incorporate your code into his plugin making it even more
   powerful to export content from WordPress. Hopefully his plugin can also be incorporated
   into Core down the road or something similar that improves exporting and importing
   WordPress content.

 * Yip – if we could work together to make one solid export tool then that would
   be awesome. Pop an issue on the Export Plus repo and submit a pull request so
   I can check it out 🙂

 * Thanks for the tip on Export Plus, Paal! My wordpress expertise is limited (read–
   low) and would love to sync up with Hugh 🙂
 * This is exciting 🙂

 * I am not really sure where to post, but since we got a good momentum going here
   I will post the link here.
 * Will this help?
