What Is MainWP Url Extractor Extension?
MainWP Url Extractor Extension is developed by MainWP and is an administration plugin for WordPress. It belongs to the administration category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for network management and site maintenance.
The extension solves the problem of manually navigating through multiple child sites to find specific post links or page data. It is built for agencies and SEO managers who need to gather hundreds of URLs simultaneously for indexing services or client audits.
MainWP Url Extractor Extension Features
The feature set is built around granular link identification and flexible data output across the entire network.
Token-Based Content Extraction
URL Extractor identifies and pulls specific metadata using dedicated tokens. You can extract the Post Title, Status, Author, Website URL, and the specific Website Name. This ensures that every entry in your export file contains the context required for professional administration and data sorting.
Advanced Filtering and Search
To prevent overwhelming data files, the extension includes filters to narrow down the search. You can target specific Post Types, Statuses (like published or draft), and defined Date Ranges. There is also a keyword search option to find URLs related to a specific topic across the whole network.
Flexible Export Formatting
The plugin allows you to define custom separators and characters for your output. This flexibility ensures that the resulting CSV or TXT files are compatible with external indexing tools or spreadsheet software. Setup configurations can be saved as templates for recurring report generation.
