 * I’m using the WordPress exporter to export posts.
 * I can export everything or choose a post type. When i choose ‘post’ i get lots
   of options including a date range.
 * When i select a CPT there are no options and you have to export all of that post
   type. It would be great if we could see the same settings as when exporting posts
   so you can just export the last months or by a specific author.
 * Currently have 3,000 of a CPT and its really slow to export and import the whole
   set all the time.
 * Is there a setting in CPT UI that an activate these?
 * Capability Type for the CPT is set to post. I can’t think of anything else that
   would make difference.
 * Thanks!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Foptions-for-exporting-post-type%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Honestly not sure there’s much that we specifically can do here, we don’t have
   any functionality related to exporting CPT content. At best, we have the ability
   to export the settings for our plugin itself.
 * What export plugin are you using for this work? Their support is probably going
   to be the best source to amend this behavior.

 * yeh i just thought that setting ‘post’ functionality might allow these options
   for CPTs. Or maybe some export functionality built into the plugin for CPT to
   custom taxonomies. D.
