Export List of All WordPress Published Post URLS

In this step-by-step tutorial I will guide you how to export all published post, pages and custom posts of your WordPress blog.

First we need to create a new file named geekyard.php. (Note: I used TextWrangler – Text Editor tool)
Copy and paste the below PHP inside geekyard.php and save it.

<?php
 
include "wp-load.php";
 
$posts = new WP_Query('post_type=any&posts_per_page=-1&post_status=publish');
$posts = $posts->posts;
/*
global $wpdb;
$posts = $wpdb->get_results("
    SELECT ID,post_type,post_title
    FROM {$wpdb->posts}
    WHERE post_status<>'auto-draft' AND post_type NOT IN ('revision','nav_menu_item')
");
*/
 
header('Content-type:text/plain');
foreach($posts as $post) {
    switch ($post->post_type) {
        case 'revision':
        case 'nav_menu_item':
            break;
        case 'page':
            $permalink = get_page_link($post->ID);
            break;
        case 'post':
            $permalink = get_permalink($post->ID);
            break;
        case 'attachment':
            $permalink = get_attachment_link($post->ID);
            break;
        default:
            $permalink = get_post_permalink($post->ID);
            break;
    }
    echo "\n{$post->post_type}\t{$permalink}\t{$post->post_title}";
}

- Now login to your site’s FTP account using FileZilla or any other FTP software.
- Once logged in, upload the newly created file into your site’s root directory (Public_html).

- Now open your browser and enter the URL http://yourdomain.com/geekyard.php in the address bar and hit enter.
- Now the uploaded file will be executed and you will get a list of all the post URLs in your WordPress site.

Save the text file directly from browser.
