How to export a specific category, or a date range?

Hi Jared,

In the current version of the importer the filter options when exporting are quite limited, however you can modify the exoirt query by using the following code snippet, for example fetching drafts that have the category "Export".

add_filter('iwp/exporter/post_query', function ($query) {

    $query['post_status'] = 'draft';
    $query['tax_query'] = [
        [
            'taxonomy' => 'category',
            'field' => 'name',
            'terms' => 'Export'
        ]
    ];

    return $query;
});

Hi Jared,

Sure, you need to contact codecanyon about this.

I'm also trying to export a date range from WordPress to JASON but I don't know how to Filter Records - based on the following conditions. What do I put in for 'field name?' (I'm assuming it's date) and what is the date format? yyyy-mm-dd?The best question is: How do I export a date range of posts?Thank you!

Hi Sean,

To export a date range you would need to add the following code to your website, changing the before and after dates in the format 'Y-m-d', the example will return records between the 1st and 15th of january 2025.

add_filter('iwp/exporter/post_query', function ($query) {

    $query['date_query'] = [
        [
            'after' => '2025-01-01',
            'before' => '2025-01-15',
            'inclusive' => true,
        ]
    ];

    return $query;
});

Thank you!

Where on the website (what file) do I put the code?

Also, does it export the media into an accompanying folder?

I appreciate your help.

You can add code to the website via your theme files, or via a custom plugin, or via a code plugin: information on how to do this can be found here: https://www.importwp.com/docs/using-code-snippets-in-wordpress/

No media is not exported into a folder, When you export post type records make sure you select to export the attachment url, as this will allow the importer to use that url to download and import the media.
