I’m having real trouble getting the information out in a usable format as I’m not a programmer. * This plugin does exactly what I want, except it doesn’t do it for custom posts. 🙁 * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/export-to-text/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/export-to-text/) Viewing 13 replies - 1 through 13 (of 13 total) * Plugin Author [hypedtext](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hypedtext/) * (@hypedtext) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-export-to-text-export-custom-posts/#post-2633194) * This plugin should help you do exactly that. Try making your data set smaller. * Thread Starter [Open Designs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/opendesigns/) * (@opendesigns) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-export-to-text-export-custom-posts/#post-2633217) * Hey, thanks for the reply. I have selected only 4-5 data sets and it is still only showing my standard blog posts. The custom post type “designs” that I have isn’t showing. I have 1000+ of them and only about 20-30 blog posts so it’s definitely not finding them. I’d notice… :/ * Plugin Author [hypedtext](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hypedtext/) * (@hypedtext) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-export-to-text-export-custom-posts/#post-2633224) * How many options do you have in Post Types? * Thread Starter [Open Designs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/opendesigns/) * (@opendesigns) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-export-to-text-export-custom-posts/#post-2633327) * I have two options. Posts and Pages. Neither one is pulling in the custom post type. * Plugin Author [hypedtext](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hypedtext/) * (@hypedtext) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-export-to-text-export-custom-posts/#post-2633328) * Sounds like there is a problem with how your custom post types are being specified. Double check the method your using for creating custom post types. Is it a plugin, theme or functions.php? * Thread Starter [Open Designs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/opendesigns/) * (@opendesigns) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-export-to-text-export-custom-posts/#post-2633329) * It was written in functions.php by the previous site owner who was a programmer. I have no clue what he’s done and he’s unavailable to help. This sucks! * (Great plugin, btw! – I just wish I could use it) * Plugin Author [hypedtext](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hypedtext/) * (@hypedtext) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-export-to-text-export-custom-posts/#post-2633330) * I’m sure you can easily get your functions.php fixed up.
