I don’t even know if this is next-to-impossible or super-easy.
What I want is for any user (whatever role / capability they have) to be able to download whatever content they have created.

Please do not post the same thing multiple times. Duplicates get deleted when found.
Also don’t post these items in Requests and Feedback as that’s not what that forum is for. I’ve moved your topic to How To and Troubleshooting because that’s where this belongs.
I believe that non-admins can export their content already but I’ll try myself to confirm later on today with a regular account.

Oh, thanks!
I was a little shocked myself — I also thought that, but I at the moment I don’t have a blog other than ones I admin (and the roles and capabilities page says only admins can export content [ http://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities#Administrator ])

Thanks WPyogi,
that is a good idea, I guess — but it doesn’t *exactly* solve the issue (and also might raise some *different* issues).
I think in it’s more complex form, the question is about letting users download *their own* content.
The “all content” exports *everything* — including other people’s content. Of course what really matters, I guess, is whether / what gets uploaded *somewhere else* (and I think there are probably “scraper scripts” out there in the wild that would probably also enable such bulk downloading)… but ideally it would be great if people who manage WP sites could say “in one easy click *you* can download all of *your* content”.

Sounds like a good idea, I agree.
This looks like it may be more along those lines?

That’s nice for pros, but for novices (like me) it looks like that might be above my *capacities*. 😉
The way I see it now, probably the easiest (meaning “quick and dirty”-est) solution would be using something like https://wordpress.org/plugins/capability-manager-enhanced (which I found via your search suggestion — thanks!) in combination with a statement saying something like “please do not steal content from others”.
something like “please do not steal content from others”.
LOL, yeah, but really, anything on the internet can be copied by anyone else. Always good to give little ethical reminders anyway
Found another interesting plugin –
https://wordpress.org/plugins/pdf24-post-to-pdf/
Wonder if you could modify that to restrict to certain user?

I’ve searched around, but I can’t find a way for users of a site who are not admins to download their content to an WXR (or other format) file.
Does this not exist?
I really want my site users to be able to download their own content — what is the easiest way for me to enable this?
Thanks!
