How to Get a List of WordPress PDF, Image, Post, or Page URLS


Below are two PHP scripts you can use to help get a list of URLs of content in your WordPress site. I use these when I am migrating posts or media library files to another sites without using a plugin.

Follow the steps below to use these scripts

  1. Open a text editor and copy and paste one of the code blocks and save the file as get-urls.php
  2. Upload the get-urls.php file to the root directory of your wordpress install not your themes folder
  3. In your browser go to yourdomain.com/get-urls.php

Get List of Attachments

Once you have your list of URLS you can use this handy chrome extension to download them into a folder.

<?php
include "wp-load.php";
?>

<?php query_posts($args); ?>
    <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
        <?php
        // https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_allowed_mime_types
        $unsupported_mimes  = array('image/jpeg', 'image/gif', 'image/png', 'image/bmp', 'image/tiff', 'image/x-icon', 'application/pdf', 'video/mp4');
        $all_mimes          = get_allowed_mime_types();
        $accepted_mimes     = array_diff($all_mimes, $unsupported_mimes);

        $args = array(
            'post_mime_type'    => $accepted_mimes,
            'order'          => 'ASC',
            'orderby'          => 'date',
            'post_type'      => 'attachment',
            /* 
              'post_parent'    => $post->ID,
              'date_query'     => array(
                'year'  => 2016,
                'before' => array(
               'year'  => 2018,
              'month' => 1,
              'day'   => 1,
             ),
             ), 
            */       
            //'post_status'    => null,
            'numberposts'    => -1,
        );
        $attachments = get_posts($args);
        if ($attachments) {
            foreach ($attachments as $attachment) {
                echo wp_get_attachment_url($attachment->ID);
                echo "<br>";
            }
        }
        ?>
    <?php endwhile; ?>

 

Get List of Pages

<?php 
include "wp-load.php";

/**/
// Get All Post Types as List
foreach ( get_post_types( '', 'names' ) as $post_type ) {
    echo "{$post_type}n";
    //echo $post_type ."<br>";
}

// Step 1. Paste all of the post types into this array below
// Step 2. Save page as .csv and remove the post types at the top

$posts = new WP_Query(array(
    'post_type' => array(
        'post',
        'page'
    ),
    'posts_per_page' => -1,
    'post_status' => 'publish',
    'depth' => -1
));


//$posts = new WP_Query('post_type=any&posts_per_page=-1&post_status=publish&depth=-1');
$posts = $posts->posts;
header('Content-type:text/plain');


echo "URL,";
echo "Type,";
echo "Date,";
echo "Titlen";


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;
    }
    $title = get_the_title($post->ID);
    $postType = get_post_type($post->ID);
    $postDate = get_the_date('Y-m-d');
    
    echo "{$permalink},";
    echo "{$postType},";
    echo "{$postDate},";
    echo "{$title}n";
}
?>
