Export from wordpress to excel

To export WordPress data to CSV, Excel, or XML, go to All Export › New Export and select the type of data you want to export. Use the Drag & Drop interface to select your export columns, then run the export and download your file.

This documentation covers how to export from WordPress using WP All Export. For a broader look at exporting from WordPress, check out:

Export from WordPress

Step 1: Select a Post Type for Your WordPress Export

First, navigate to All Export › New Export and choose the type of data that you want to export.

WordPress separates data into different post types like posts, pages, WooCommerce products, real estate properties, etc. You can export any custom post type or taxonomy by selecting it here.

Export WordPress Create New Export

Once you’ve chosen a post type, click Customize Export File at the end to continue (not shown).

Step 2: Customize Your WordPress Export

The fields available to export are listed on the right. Drag and drop individual fields from there to the column selection area, or click Add All to export everything.

All data is available for export, including media, images, categories and tags, custom fields, etc. Add-ons like WooCommerce, real estate plugins, Yoast, and ACF have custom data that can be exported, too.

Export WordPress Drag and Drop Export Fields

Once you’ve selected your export fields, you can move them around to reorder them. Click to rename individual elements, combine multiple fields, and more.

When your export columns are the way you want them, click Continue.

Step 3: Confirm and Run Your WordPress Export

You can now configure your WordPress export settings. This includes the ability to schedule your export and set advanced options. We’ll leave these settings alone for now. Instead, click Confirm & Run Export to run your export.

Export WordPress Confirm Settings and Run Export

Step 4: Download Your WordPress Export

After the export finishes, download the generated export file. At this point, you can choose to migrate this data to another WordPress site, edit it in Excel and import it back into WordPress, or send it to Dropbox, Google Drive, email, and over 1000+ other external apps via Zapier.

Export WordPress Download and Export Complete

You can review previous exports via All Export › Manage Exports.

Export WordPress – Advanced Topics

Select a Different WordPress Export Type

To export WordPress data in a different format, expand the Export Type section in the Drag & Drop interface. Here are the available options:

  • Spreadsheet
    • CSV File: creates a .CSV file.
    • Excel File (XLS): creates a .XLS file.
    • Excel File (XLSX): creates a .XLSX file.
  • Feed
    • Simple XML Feed: creates a .XML file.
    • Custom XML Feed creates a .XML file.

Export WordPress Select Export Type

When you export WooCommerce products, there will be another Feed option: Google Merchant Center Product Feed. That export type is specific to products and generates a .TXT file.

Export WordPress Automatically with Scheduling

You can schedule your WordPress export using the following options:

  • Cron jobs: this allows you to manually create cron jobs in your server (via cPanel, Plesk, or similar) and then run the export on a schedule. To learn more, see Manual Scheduling.
  • Our Automatic Scheduling Service: this is an optional and monthly paid service that allows you to schedule exports directly from within our plugin’s interface. See Automatic Scheduling Service.

The scheduling options can be defined by expanding the Scheduling Options section of the Export Settings screen (Step 3 above), or after the export has been created in All Export › Manage Exports › Scheduling Options.

Use PHP Code or Custom PHP Code when Exporting WordPress Data

In addition to exporting WordPress data easily, our software allows you to use PHP code or custom PHP code on the exported data.

This is useful for modifying your WordPress data on-the-fly while exporting. You can learn more about this in our documentation, How to Pass Exported WordPress Data Through PHP Functions. This technique allows you to apply a function to a single export element.

If you need to pass more than one export element through a function, you can use custom export fields instead. See Combine and Process Multiple Data Elements into a Custom Export Field for more information.

Export WordPress – Frequently Asked Questions

How Do I Completely Export a WordPress Site?

You can export the post types or custom post types available on your WordPress site, but you can’t export your full site at once. You have to export one post type at a time.

By default, WordPress offers a native tool to export all WordPress data (see Tools Export Screen). However, to export a WordPress site entirely and manually, you can export the WordPress database and then download the WordPress files from your server via SFTP or FTP.

How Do I Export and Import a WordPress Site?

  1. Go to the export site and use WP All Export to migrate all of your desired data.
  2. Download the generated bundles for each post type or custom post type that was exported.
  3. Go to the import site and use WP All Import to import each bundle.
  4. Review to confirm that your migration was successful.

This process is explained in more detail in our Migrate quickstart guide.

How Do I Export WordPress Media?

You cannot export the media library out of the box. To export media from your WordPress site, you need to export the post type or custom post type associated with the media that you wish to export.

For example, if you have multiple images attached to posts, you need to export the WordPress posts to obtain those images.

However, there’s a workaround that allows using a WP_Query export (see documentation) to generate an export file with all of the media that exists on your site. Here’s the query that you can use:

'post_type' => 'attachment',
'post_status' => 'inherit'

How Do I Import Data into WordPress?

  1. Go to All Import > New Import in the WordPress main menu.
  2. Choose how you want to load your data (i.e., upload file, use a URL, etc.).
  3. Select your import file and your import target (i.e., Posts, Pages, etc.).
  4. Map incoming data elements to your WordPress fields.
  5. Run the import.

How To Export WordPress Users to CSV, Excel, or XML

To export WordPress users, go to All Export › New Export and select Users. Configure your export using our convenient Drag & Drop interface, then run the export and download your file.

Step 1: Create a New WordPress Users Export

Go to All Export › New Export:

  1. Choose Specific Post Type.
  2. Select Users.
  3. Click Customize Export File. This will bring you to the Drag & Drop screen.

Step 2: Define Your WordPress User Export Columns

Most WordPress user exports only consist of a few data columns. You can select these columns using our Drag & Drop interface.

The Available Data section on the right contains all the available data elements organized by categories.

To include a data element in an export, simply drag it from the Available Data section and drop it in the column selection area:

To remove a column from the user export, drag & drop it outside the column selection area.

Export WordPress Users — Data Categories and Fields

User data is divided by default into three categories: Standard, Custom Fields, and Other. However, if WooCommerce is installed, our plugin will add a fourth category for WooCommerce customer billing and shipping address data, which it labels as Address. See the relevant sections below for more information.

WordPress Users — Standard Data

Data describing the WordPress user’s account are located in Available Data › Standard:

  • ID: The user ID, assigned by WordPress
  • Username: The username the user chose when creating their account
  • User Email: Email address associated with the user account
  • First Name: User’s first name
  • Last Name: User’s last name
  • User Registered: Date that the user registered
  • User Nicename: Sanitized version of the username
  • User URL: Website associated with the user account
  • Display Name: The name to be displayed publicly, which is selected in WordPress as either the username, first/last, or nickname
  • Nickname: A name chosen by the user to be displayed on the frontend
  • Description: A description of the user, also labeled as Biographical Info in WordPress

WordPress Users — Custom Fields

Custom fields are extra information attached to the users on your WordPress site. They’re also known as metadata. Many pieces of data are stored as custom fields, such as a product’s price or a real estate property’s address. You can find this data in Available Data › Custom Fields.

By default, users will not have any custom fields. However, plugins and themes will add them. Because they depend entirely on which plugins or themes have been installed, we do not have a predefined list of custom fields. Also, since many of these fields tend to be used for internal purposes, their names may not be meaningful at first glance:

However, having access to these fields may make the difference between a successful vs. unsuccessful user export.

WooCommerce Address Fields

The billing and shipping address fields that WooCommerce attaches to users are also custom fields. However, to make these fields more accessible, we create a separate section for them in Available Data -> Address.

These fields include:

  • Billing First Name
  • Billing Last Name
  • Billing Company
  • Billing Address 1
  • Billing Address 2
  • Billing City
  • Billing Postcode
  • Billing Country
  • Billing State
  • Billing Email
  • Billing Phone
  • Shipping First Name
  • Shipping Last Name
  • Shipping Company
  • Shipping Address 1
  • Shipping Address 2
  • Shipping City
  • Shipping Postcode
  • Shipping Country
  • Shipping State

WordPress Users — Other Data

You can find other, less common user fields in Available Data-> Other. These include:

  • User Role: All users have a role that determines what they can do when logged in. You can read more about user roles here: https://wordpress.org/support/article/roles-and-capabilities/
  • User Pass: A hash of the user’s password. Read the next section for more information on user passwords.
  • Everything else. There’s a lot of WordPress user data that the vast majority of people will never need to export. In case you do, it’s all here.

Exporting WordPress User Passwords

To export a WordPress user password, drag the User Pass field from Available Data -> Other into the column selection area.

These are hashes of the passwords, not the passwords themselves. Hashing is a one-way action that irreversibly scrambles a string of text. It is not possible to reverse the hashing process and reveal the original password. You can, however, import the hashed passwords back into WordPress, and users will be able to log in with their old password.

Once your WordPress user export columns have been defined, click Continue to configure the export settings.

Step 3: Configure Your User Export Settings

In the Schedule Options section of this screen, you can configure your user export to run automatically on either a weekly or monthly schedule. This is ideal if you wish to export users to another system on a regular basis.

In the Advanced Options section, you can configure important settings, such as how to handle users that were exported previously using the same export template, and what kind of file size and batch processing settings should be applied to avoid exceeding server file and resource limitations.

Leave all these settings alone for now.

To run your export, click Confirm & Run Export.

Step 4: Download Your WordPress User Export File

When the export finishes, click CSV to download your user data:

Another option is to click Bundle, which downloads a zip file containing both the export file and an import template. WP All Import can use this template to import WordPress users on another site, which is a very convenient way to migrate users from one site to another.

Export WordPress Users — Advanced Topics

Exporting Users to Other File Types

In the preceding tutorial, we exported our WordPress Users to a CSV file by default. Our plugin can also export users to Excel or XML.

To use Excel, do the following in the Drag & Drop interface:

  1. Expand the Export Type panel below the column selection area.
  2. Choose Spreadsheet.
  3. Select Excel File XLS or Excel File XLSX.

Want to export to XML instead?

  1. Expand the Export Type panel.
  2. Choose Feed.
  3. Select Simple XML Feed or Custom XML Feed.

Export WordPress Users — Advanced Options

The Advanced Options panel is found just above the Export Type panel when exporting to CSV or XML. It is not present when exporting to Excel. Here is what it looks like when exporting to CSV:

With CSV files, there are only two options:

  • Separator, which defines the character to be used to separate one column from another. The default option is to use a comma (,). Another popular option is to use a pipe character (|).
  • Include header row and column titles in export: When selected, the first row is a header row with column titles. If not selected, the first row simply contains the data for the first user with no header or column titles.

To understand the XML options, read our guide on exporting WordPress data to XML.

Filtering User Exports

Sometimes, you may want to export only a subset of WordPress users.

To do this, expand the Add Filtering Options panel near the bottom of the New Export screen. A filter rule requires an Element, a Rule, and a Value:

In this case, we are filtering for:

Element = billing state

Value = «TX» for Texas

Expressed verbally, this says, “Export WordPress Users with a billing address in Texas.”

You can also combine multiple filter rules. For example, you can add an «Or» condition to include users from Florida, too:

You can create whatever combination of filters that you require.

Export WordPress Users — Frequently Asked Questions

How to Export All WordPress Users?

Run a standard export as described in this document. Select your export columns as usual but do not apply any filters. When you export WordPress users without filters, this will automatically export all users in the WordPress database.

How to Import WordPress Users?

  1. In the WordPress main menu, navigate to All Import > New Import.
  2. Choose how you want to load your data (i.e., upload file, use a URL, etc.).
  3. Select your import file and your import target (i.e., Users).
  4. Use the Drag & Drop interface to map incoming fields to your WordPress user fields.
  5. Run the import.

See Import WordPress Users for relevant features and a video overview.

How to Migrate WordPress Users to Another Website?

  1. Export the users that you wish to migrate. When you do this, download the Bundle option instead of a CSV file. The bundle file contains an import template in addition to the export data file.
  2. Install WP All Import on the target site.
  3. Import the bundle file. WP Import will know what to do from there, allowing you to just accept the import default settings.
  4. Check the imported users.

WordPress only stores hashed passwords, which are completely encrypted and secure when you export them elsewhere. You can then import them back into WordPress, and users will still be able to use their old passwords without ever exposing them to others.

Can I Export WordPress User Data From Other Plugins or WooCommerce Extensions?

Yes. WP All Export automatically detects custom data added by other plugins. You can export this custom user data the same way that you export any other type of WordPress data. This is just one of the ways that our software makes your import/export tasks easier.

How Do I Schedule My WordPress User Exports?

You can schedule your WordPress user exports to run automatically using either cron jobs on your server, or our automatic scheduling service to set your user export schedule directly from our interface. Talk about convenience!

Automatic Scheduling

A new service from Soflyy, Automatic Scheduling provides a simple interface for setting exports to run on a schedule. The service will make sure that your exports start on time and that they successfully complete without the need to set up individual cron jobs.

It costs $9/mo and can be used with WP All Export and WP All Import. You can set up as many exports and imports on as many sites as you like.

What information is shared with Soflyy? If you set an export to run on a schedule, WP All Export will open an encrypted connection to Soflyy servers. It will send the license key, site URL, ID of the export you want to run, export security key, and times that you want the export to run.

WordPress CSV Exports

A CSV is a very simple type of spreadsheet file where each column is separated by a comma. With WP All Export you can very easily set up a WordPress CSV export and control the order and title of the columns.

Very often you’ll want to edit your data with Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers, or maybe something else. This is why a CSV export is so powerful – all spreadsheet software can read, edit, and save CSV files. WP All Export allows you edit your WordPress data using whatever spreadsheet software you are most comfortable with.

WordPress XML Exports

Sometimes you’ll want to export your data so that some other tool, software, or service can use it. Very often they will require your data to be formatted as an XML file. XML is very similar to HTML, but you don’t need to know anything about that in order to set up an XML export with WP All Export.

If you want to set up a WordPress XML export all you need to do is select ‘XML’ when configuring your export template. And just like a CSV export, an XML export will allow you to customize the element names and put them in any order you wish.

Sure, I’m able to export my custom post type Calendar items and bring them into my subdomain. I see them there. But, the values are wrong. Dates are showing only today’s date.

WP All Export and All Import are perhaps the greatest WP plugins of all time. Use them in concert with ACF Pro and prepare to be astonished.

An essential time-saving plugin.

WP All Export is the master plugin for all exporting data from WordPress. There are many export plugins, including both the hobby projects and the half-measures that never quite do what’s needed. They may be a bit cheaper, but I prefer the plugin that does it all and does it well. WP All Export is that plugin. No more plugin testing or accepting half measures. Just get the plugin and you’re all set.

I’ve been using WP All Export for years. I have synchronized e-commerce and catalogs of all kinds with different management systems. Everything works perfectly. Furthermore, the customizations via functions.php make it an indispensable tool for my work.

Do you want to export your form responses to a spreadsheet?

If you have a lot of form entries, then exporting them to a CSV or Excel file helps you analyze them. You can even use the form data in other applications.

In this article, we’ll show you how to export WordPress form entries to CSV and Excel formats.

How to Export WordPress form entries to CSV and Excel

Why Export WordPress Form Entries to CSV and Excel?

WordPress forms are a great way of staying connected with your audience. They help you collect customer leads, get valuable feedback, resolve customer queries, find new product suggestions, conduct surveys, and more.

However, analyzing the data can be difficult if you have a lot of form entries. This is where exporting your data in the form of CSV (comma-separated values) and Excel files comes in handy.

For example, you can find out which products or features your users want the most or uncover common issues people face while using your WordPress site.

Another benefit of exporting WordPress form entries to CSV and Excel is that you can use the data with other applications.

Besides spreadsheet software like Google Sheets and Microsoft Excel, you can upload your form entries to analytics software. For instance, you can use Microsoft Power BI with a CSV or Excel file to create dashboards and other visualizations for your form entries.

That being said, let’s look at how you can create a WordPress form and export form entries to CSV and Excel.

Creating a WordPress Form to Collect Data

Before you can export form entries to CSV and Excel, you’ll need a WordPress form.

The best way of creating a WordPress form is by using WPForms. It’s the best contact form plugin for WordPress and is used by over 5 million websites.

WPForms offers a drag and drop form builder, which makes it effortless to create and customize WordPress forms. Plus, you get pre-built form templates to start quickly and customize the form according to your needs.

Contact form builder

You can follow our step-by-step guide on how to create a contact form in WordPress.

WPForms also comes with powerful addons that help you collect online payments, integrate with email marketing services, store users’ geolocation, reduce form abandonment, and more.

For this tutorial, we’ll use the WPForms Pro version because it includes the option to export form entries and offers more features. There’s also a WPForms Lite version that you can try for free.

Exporting WordPress Form Entries to CSV and Excel

Once you’ve added a contact form on your WordPress blog and started getting form submissions, the next step is to export your form entries.

To start, simply head to WPForms » Entries in your WordPress admin panel, and then select a WordPress form to export its entries.

View form entries in WPForms

After that, you will see all the entries for the form you selected.

Go ahead and click the ‘Export All’ option.

Click export all option

Next, WPForms will show you different export options for your form entries.

You can choose which form fields to export, as well. By default, the export will include name, email address, and message fields.

However, there are also options to export additional information such as entry ID, date, user agent, user IP, payment status, and more.

Choose export options in WPForms

From here, simply scroll down to the ‘Export Options’ section.

You can click the ‘Export in Microsoft Excel (.xlsx)’ checkbox to export the data in Excel format. If the box is left unchecked, WPForms will export as a CSV file.

Download export file

There’s also a custom date range selector to help you export data from a specific time.

Plus, you can use the search feature to filter form entries. For example, you can export forms that only contain or don’t contain a specific name, email, message, ID, and more.

Next, go ahead and click the ‘Download Export File’ button and save the file to your computer.

You’ll now see a message that your export file was successfully generated.

Export file generated success message

How to Export a Single WordPress Form Entry

WPForms also lets you export a single form entry instead of downloading all the submissions. This is helpful if you have a multi-step form and only require information about a particular lead.

To start, simply go to WPForms » Entries from your WordPress dashboard and select a form to view its entries.

View form entries in WPForms

You should now be able to see all your forms. From here, click on the form that contains the single entry you need.

On the next screen, find the entry you want to export, and then go ahead and click the ‘View’ button.

View a specific form entry

After that, you’ll see details of your form entry.

Simply click the ‘Export (CSV)’ or ‘Export (XLSX)’ options in the Actions metabox on the right-hand side to download the file.

Export specific form entry

You can now save the CSV or Excel file on your computer and open it in spreadsheet software.

Bonus: Connect WordPress Forms to Google Sheets

Did you know that you can automate the process of gathering form entries and showing them in Google Sheets?

Connecting your WordPress forms with Google Sheets automatically collects the data in a spreadsheet. This makes it easier for team members to access form entries without creating a new WordPress login.

Plus, you don’t have to manually export form entries or collect data to share it with other people. It helps save time and reduces any errors that may occur when manually exporting data.

The best way to set up automation is by using Uncanny Automator. It is the best WordPress automation plugin and helps connect WordPress plugins and third-party apps.

Uncanny Automator

You can follow our detailed guide on how to connect any WordPress forms to Google Sheets for more information.

CSVs not cutting it? Wasting hours with manual data entry? You can now export WordPress form submissions to Excel with zero effort!

Data collection and analysis is one of the greatest necessary evils of all businesses. Looking at who is using your site and what information you have collected is a must when growing your site and building strategies. That information has to be presented in a way that’s easy to read and parse by the people that depend on that data. Getting it into that state can be a challenge.

The formatting of CSV exports often leave a lot to be desired. They can get clunky and hard to read, especially so the more information you have to share.

Excel is the obvious next answer. Trying to manually move data from form submissions into Excel can tie you up for hours each week, though.

There are plenty of plugins on WordPress.org, and plenty of paid plugins too, that offer this as a feature. You may have already tried a few and found the quality of what they can do… lacking.

Fortunately, there is an easy and organized way to export WordPress form submissions to Excel. One that won’t just not leave your data a garbled mess, but sort neatly into rows and columns exactly like you need it to. Find it below!

It couldn’t be easier!

Once installed, you can find Excel Export under the Ninja forms dashboard:

Selecting it will open the page where you can choose exactly what data you are after and looking to export.

From the Excel Export page, simply select from the drop down menus:

    1. What form you are needing to export into an Excel spreadsheet.
    2. Filter through the submissions of any one form for specific data (e.g. any submissions containing a specific email address, or response to a specific question on the form, etc)
    3. Which fields you want included or excluded.
    4. XLS or XLSX file types.

Once everything is set simply download the file and you are set!…unless you’re like me and don’t have Excel, but you can still save the file and upload it to a Google spreadsheet! Versatile and ready to share!

Get setup with Excel Export today and start saving countless hours that you can put to better things.

Excel Export is the fastest and easiest way to take your site data and place it in an easy to understand spreadsheet.

To get the most out of the data, you want to fetch it outside of the platform for further analysis.

Pulling data from WordPress to Excel is a breeze with Coupler.io. It takes a few minutes to set up an importer. From then onwards, the data will be pulled automatically into your WordPress workbook, on a schedule you choose.

Forget about manual exports from WordPress. Automate the process with Coupler.io and always work with fresh data.

I recently built a Customer Relationship Management system (CRM) for myself using WordPress. I had experimented with a few existing solutions like Salesforce and Sugar, but none worked for me. I spent about 10 minutes creating this solution (screenshot) with custom taxonomies and custom meta boxes. In a few months I might review it in more detail after using it for a while.

One feature I’d like to share now is my method of exporting to a spreadsheet. This technique should work for all of the major spreadsheet programs (Microsoft Excel, Google Docs, OpenOffice).

I knew I wanted a way to get my data into Excel for analyzing it, but didn’t want to figure out how to dynamically generate an .xls file. So an easy workaround is to render your content in a simple table, then copy/paste it into your spreadsheet.

Create the Template

First you’ll need to build a template page for the table (if you’re using Thesis see my note below). Here’s a start:

Instead of calling get_header(), which would’ve rendered the actual header, I called wp_head(), which is the hook that runs some essential WordPress code in the header. The goal here is to only display the table so you don’t get any extra text coming across to your spreadsheet.

Create a page called “Download”, set it to Private, and set the page template to Download. Now you’ll be able to see the results of your work on this page.

Before we build the loop that renders all the content, I like to put in the table headers. Inside <table> put the titles of all the fields you’d like exported like this:

Now for the code that actually lists the data. I’m going to do a simple query that just lists all posts. You could customize this query to do whatever you’d like (see query_posts in the Codex for options). You could even make a custom field on your Download page to define the query variables if you will be changing it often and don’t want to edit code.

Inside the <tr> you’ll put <td>’s for each of your variables. Here’s some tips:

  • To list the value of a custom field, use <td><?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID,'field_name',true);?></td> where field_name is the actual name of the field.
  • To display the publish date, use <td><?php the_time('m.d.y');?></td>
  • To list the values of a custom taxonomy in a comma-separated list and without having it link to the taxonomy page, use <td><?php $poc = get_the_terms( $post->ID, 'poc', '', ', ', '' ); $list = ''; if ($poc) { foreach ($poc as $data) $list .= $data->name.', '; echo $list; } ?></td> where ‘poc’ is the name of the taxonomy. You could just use the_terms() but then you’ll have links in your spreadsheet.
  • To list the categories as a comma-separated list and without links, use <td><?php $cats = get_the_category(', '); $list = ''; if ($cats) { foreach ($cats as $data) $list .= $data->cat_name.', '; echo $list; } ?></td>
  • To display the post content without having it break your table (which the_content() would do), use <td><?php echo get_the_content();?></td>

That covers all the major types of data that I used. Let me know if I missed anything.

Using it with Thesis

Thesis is a little different, in that you can’t create template pages like normal themes. Based on Kristarella’s great post on Creating Thesis Squeeze and Landing Pages, I used filters to remove the header, sidebars, footer and headline area. I then created a function that rendered the table and attached it after the post content. Here’s the code to put in custom_functions.php (note that I excluded everything inside the table – that’s the same as the code above).

Let’s Talk

I have created PHP scripts before to export a database table to .xls format like this:

$select = "SELECT * FROM tracking";
$export = mysql_query ( $select ) or die ( "Sql error : " . mysql_error( )  );
$fields = mysql_num_fields ( $export );
$file = 'export';
for ( $i = 0; $i < $fields; $i++ )
{
$header .= mysql_field_name( $export , $i ) . "t";
}
while( $row = mysql_fetch_row( $export ) )
{
$line = '';
foreach( $row as $value )
{
    if ( ( !isset( $value ) ) || ( $value == "" ) )
    {
        $value = "t";
    }
        else
    {
        $value = str_replace( '"' , '""' , $value );
        $value = '"' . $value . '"' . "t";
    }
        $line .= $value;
 }
 $data .= trim( $line ) . "n";
 }
 $data = str_replace( "r" , "" , $data );
 if ( $data == "" )
 {
 $data = "n(0) Records Found!n";
 }

$filename = $file."_".date("M-d-Y");

header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
header( "Content-disposition: filename=".$filename.".xls");
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Expires: 0");
print "$headern$data";

What I’d like to know is how to «convert» this to wordpress format using the $wpdb class? I can get the initial query down to actually select the data from the table I want, but I get lost in some of the semantics of the wpdb class. I also wanted to know where I would put this code in wordpress, so if say a user clicks on a link, it would run this query and download the .xls file?

Any help is greatly appreciated! This site is great!

Why not use the SELECT INTO OUTFILE syntax:

$wpdb->query("SELECT * INTO OUTFILE '/path/to/file' 
 FIELDS TERMINATED BY 't' 
 LINES TERMINATED BY 'n' 
 FROM tracking");

create this as a ‘export_data.php’ file.
Then call this php from the link

<?php
    $host = 'localhost';
    $user = 'mysqlUser';
    $pass = 'myUserPass';
    $db = 'myDatabase';
    $table = 'products_info';
    $file = 'export';

    $link = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass) or die("Can not connect." . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($db) or die("Can not connect.");

    $result = mysql_query("SHOW COLUMNS FROM ".$table."");
    $i = 0;
    if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0) {
        while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
            $csv_output .= $row['Field']."; ";
            $i++;
        }
    }
    $csv_output .= "n";

    $values = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM ".$table."");
    while ($rowr = mysql_fetch_row($values)) {
        for ($j=0;$j<$i;$j++) {
            $csv_output .= $rowr[$j]."; ";
        }
        $csv_output .= "n";
    }

    $filename = $file."_".date("Y-m-d_H-i",time());
    header("Content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel");
    header("Content-disposition: csv" . date("Y-m-d") . ".csv");
    header( "Content-disposition: filename=".$filename.".csv");
    print $csv_output;
    exit;
?>

I am definitely late to help out with my answer .. I hope :) , but I am aiming to anyone else who needs an updated WordPress function to export custom table to a nice and clean row display CSV file

    function ns_contact_form_csv_pull() {

       global $wpdb;

       $table = 'ns_contact_form';// table name
       $file = 'ns_contact_form_csv'; // csv file name
       $results = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->prefix$table",ARRAY_A );

       if(count($results) > 0){
          foreach($results as $result){
          $result = array_values($result);
          $result = implode(", ", $result);
          $csv_output .= $result."n";
        }
      }

      $filename = $file."_".date("Y-m-d_H-i",time());
      header("Content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel");
      header("Content-disposition: csv" . date("Y-m-d") . ".csv");
      header( "Content-disposition: filename=".$filename.".csv");
      print $csv_output;
      exit;

    }
   add_action('wp_ajax_csv_pull','ns_contact_form_csv_pull');

Download the CSV ( need to be logged in ) just add this URL to your browser http://example.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=csv_pull … change domain with yours :)

You can call it anywhere in WordPress by using:

$ajax_url = admin_url('admin-ajax.php?action=csv_pull');

If you have phpmyadmin, then just go to export and select Excel instead of SQL.

Something like this:

$results = $wpdb->get_results('SELECT * FROM tracking;');

See SELECT generic results in Codex for details.

Not sure on how to best implement link to this, page with custom named template might do the trick.
