Data Export

UMIE exports records from any supported driver source (WordPress Core, WooCommerce, ACF, JetEngine, MetaBox) into file outputs.

How to Export

Open WordPress Admin Sidebar > UMIE.
Set Input Source to Driver.
Set Destination to File.
Select Source Driver and Source Target.
(Optional) If a multilingual plugin is active, select a Source Language to export only posts in that language.
Configure Filters (optional):
- Filter by date range.
- Filter by status (e.g., “publish”, “draft”).
- Filter by specific IDs.
Select Format:
- JSON: Hierarchical data structure, best for developers and backups.
- CSV: Spreadsheet-compatible, flat structure (nested fields are flattened).
- XML: Standard XML structure.
- AI Prompt: Downloads schema.json + prompt.txt for AI-assisted content generation.
Start Export.

The export configuration view with format selection and filter options

The export process runs in the background using a batch processing system. This ensures that:

You can navigate away from the page while the export runs. When finished, a Download button will appear.

You can run export repeatedly with different filters, filenames, and formats to generate multiple files from the same source target.

Returns a complete object representation of the data, including all meta fields and taxonomies.

[
  {
    "id": 123,
    "title": "My Post",
    "meta": {
      "custom_field": "value"
    }
  }
]

Flattens nested structures using dot notation headers:

Wraps data in a root <items> element with individual <item> records.

Downloads two files:

Empty File: Check your filters. If no records match the criteria, the export file will be empty.
Stuck Process: If the progress bar halts, check Tools > Scheduled Actions to see if the background worker is paused or failed.
