add_action( 'manage_posts_extra_tablenav', 'admin_post_list_top_export_button', 20, 1 );function admin_post_list_top_export_button( $which ) { global $typenow; if ( 'post' === $typenow && 'top' === $which ) { ?> <input type="submit" name="export_all_posts" id="export_all_posts" class="button button-primary" value="Export All Posts" /> <?php }} |
Above code add the button ‘Export All Posts’ on the posts listing as shown in the screenshot. Here, we have used the hook manage_posts_extra_tablenav to place our custom button on post screen page.
Actual Code Which Export Posts To CSV
At this stage, you are ready with your custom button which should generate our CSV. So, let’s add a code that generates the CSV on the click of a button and send it to the browser for download.
Add the below code in the functions.php file.
