It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when
used with more recent versions of WordPress.

## Screenshots

## Installation

 1. First you will have to upload the plugin to the `/wp-content/plugins/` folder.
 2. Then activate the plugin in the plugin panel.
 3. Go to SETTINGS / EXPORT POST INFO.
 4. Save a random string to make it harder for somebody to access your exported data.
 5. Download your CSV file.

## FAQ

### Why did you make this plugin?

We couldn’t find a plugin that would give us the functionality we were looking for:

1) Export publish date. 2) Export word count. 3) Easy translation of the plugin 
into other languages. So far English and Spanish translations are included.

### Why do I have to setup a random string for the name of the export CSV file?

Other plugins always export the file with the same name and in the same folder so
it’s easy to access this file. We don’t want that this file can be easily found,
so we decided to let you setup a random string to make the file name harder to guess.

### Does Export Post Info make changes to the database?

Yes. It created an entry in the options table where the random string is stored.

### How can I check out if the plugin works for me?

Install and activate. Go to settings / Export Post Info. Save random string. And
download CSV file.

### How can I remove Export Post Info to CSV?

You can simply activate, deactivate or delete it in your plugin management section.

### Which PHP version do I need?

This plugin has been tested and works with PHP versions 5.5 and greater. WordPress
itself [recommends using PHP version 7.3 or greater](https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/).
If you’re using a PHP version lower than 5.5 please upgrade your PHP version or 
contact your Server administrator.

### Are there any known incompatibilities?

Yes. On a multi-language site the export will not work correctly.

### Is this plugin compatible with WPML

Yes, but only the posts of the main language are exported. Post in secondary languages
are not exported at this moment. We are working on this because we would like to
have this feature but for us it isn’t easy to code.

### Are there any server requirements?

Yes. The plugin requires a PHP version 5.5 or higher and we recommend using PHP 
version 7.3 or higher.

### Do you make use of Export Post Info to CSV yourself?

Of course we do. That’s why we created it. 😉

It’s a shame that you have to create a plugin for such a simple operation, but this
is entirely due to the lack of WordPress. Thank you for saving lives. We need people
like you!

Thanks team, this is working like a charm, and as others have said, a huge time 
saver Just my $0.2: As in the plugin info: “Please note that only posts with status“
publish”, “future” or “private” are exported.” Indeed … but because it is nicely
coded and clear … just open plugin’s functions.php and comment/uncomment the correct
line and you will have all other status you need
