Tehnika Media Exporter is a powerful tool designed to help developers and site admins extract media files from their WordPress library with precision.

Unlike standard export tools that dump everything, this plugin allows you to filter media based on how it is used in your content.

Key Features

Context-Aware Export:
- By Post Association: Export only the images attached to, used as featured images for, or embedded inline within specific posts, pages, or custom post types.
- Direct Library Query: Export media directly from the library filtering only by date or uploader.
Granular Filtering:
- Filter source content by Post Type, Category, or Tag.
- Choose to include/exclude Featured Images, Attached Media, or Inline Images found in post content.
- Filter by Date Range or Author.
Multiple Export Formats:
- ZIP Archive: Download the actual image files in a single zip archive.
- URL List: Generate a .txt file containing the direct URLs of all matching media (great for external download managers).
- XML Export: Generate a WordPress WXR XML file containing only the selected media attachments (perfect for importing media into another WordPress site).
Modern User Experience:
- Clean, card-based interface for easy selection.
- Includes a progress indicator overlay to prevent timeouts and double-clicks during large export jobs.
