Why You May Need to Export All WordPress URLs in Plain Text?

WordPress comes with built-in tools to export content in an XML file. You can use this file to import your content into another WordPress site.

Exporting WordPress URLs in Text and CSV Format

First thing you need to do is install and activate the Export All URLs plugin. For more details, see our step by step guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.
