About Postora Export for DOCX
From the official readme · v1.1.0Description
Postora Export for DOCX lets you export a WordPress post, including an unpublished draft, as a properly formatted Microsoft Word .docx file with one click.
The export is generated securely on your own server. No content is sent to an external service, and no third-party PHP library is required.
Features
- Download draft, pending, scheduled, private, and published posts.
- Export from the Posts list or the post editor.
- Include the title, status, author, last-modified date, categories, and featured image.
- Preserve headings, paragraphs, bold text, italic text, underline, links, lists, nested lists, blockquotes, code blocks, tables, captions, and local Media Library images.
- Distribute table columns automatically according to the number of cells.
- Keep exports private with post-specific nonces and WordPress capability checks.
- Protect server resources with image-count and image-size limits.
- Build genuine DOCX files with PHP’s built-in
ZipArchiveextension. - Process everything locally without tracking, remote requests, or external services.
The plugin exports the currently saved database version of the post. Save or update the post before downloading to include your latest editor changes.
Shortcodes are not executed by default. This avoids running unknown or expensive shortcode callbacks during an export. Developers can enable trusted shortcodes with the postora_docx_process_shortcodes filter.
Installation
- Upload the
postora-export-for-docxfolder to/wp-content/plugins/, or install the plugin ZIP through Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin. - Activate Postora Export for DOCX through the Plugins screen.
- Go to Posts and click “Download DOCX” beneath an eligible post.
- Alternatively, open a post and use the “Download DOCX” button in the editor sidebar.
The plugin requires the PHP Zip extension and checks for ZipArchive during activation.
Frequently asked questions
Does it work with drafts?
Yes. Draft export is one of the plugin’s primary use cases. Downloading a draft does not publish or modify it.
Does it work with custom post types?
The default interface supports the regular Posts post type. Developers can add pages or custom post types with the postora_docx_supported_post_types filter; the plugin then adds the relevant row action and editor meta box automatically.
Are images included in the export?
Yes. Featured images and inline images stored in the local WordPress uploads directory are embedded in the DOCX file. Remote images are not downloaded.
Are there image limits?
Yes. An export can include up to 50 unique images, with a maximum of 20 MB per image and 100 MB of image data in total. Repeated uses of the same image are deduplicated.
Does it require any extra PHP extensions?
It requires PHP’s ZipArchive extension. The plugin checks for this during activation and displays a clear error when it is unavailable. The DOM extension is optional because the plugin includes a fallback HTML parser.
Are shortcodes executed?
No, not by default. Developers can enable trusted shortcode processing with the postora_docx_process_shortcodes filter.
Is anything sent to external servers?
No. All processing happens on your WordPress server. The plugin makes no remote requests and includes no analytics or tracking.
Can export metadata be changed or disabled?
Yes. Developers can use the postora_docx_metadata_settings and postora_docx_metadata_lines filters to remove or customise status, author, modified-date, and category information.
