Export list of pretty permalinks and post title - mysql

Question

Looking for a way to export a list of pretty permalinks in WordPress with the corresponding post title. Looking for the actual permalink structure defined not the shortlink. I suppose if I have to, I will use a short link, but I prefer the full permalink.

Answer 1

Here's a standalone PHP file you can save into the root of your website called something like /export.php and when you call it with your browser it will send a tab-delimited plain text list of posts with the pretty permalink, the post title and (as a bonus) the post type.
Just load the URL in your browser and then "save as" to a text file you can then load in Excel or however else you need to process it.
<?php
include "wp-load.php";
$posts = new WP_Query('post_type=any&posts_per_page=-1&post_status=publish');
$posts = $posts->posts;
/*
global $wpdb;
$posts = $wpdb->get_results("
SELECT ID,post_type,post_title
FROM {$wpdb->posts}
WHERE post_status<>'auto-draft' AND post_type NOT IN ('revision','nav_menu_item')
");
*/
header('Content-type:text/plain');
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;
}
echo "\n{$post->post_type}\t{$permalink}\t{$post->post_title}";
}
Hope this helps.

P.S. I used the standard WordPress WP_Query() but also included a commented-out SQL in case you prefer (or need) to use it instead.

this query should do it for you
SELECT wpp.post_title,
wpp.guid,
wpp.post_date,
CONCAT
(
wpo_su.option_value,
REPLACE
(
REPLACE
(
REPLACE
(
REPLACE
(
wpo.option_value,
'%year%',
date_format(wpp.post_date,'%Y')
),
'%monthnum%',
date_format(wpp.post_date, '%m')
),
'%day%',
date_format(wpp.post_date, '%d')
),
'%postname%',
wpp.post_name
)
) AS permalink
FROM wp_posts wpp
JOIN wp_options wpo
ON wpo.option_name = 'permalink_structure'
AND wpo.blog_id = 0
JOIN wp_options wpo_su
ON wpo_su.option_name = 'siteurl'
AND wpo_su.blog_id = wpo.blog_id
WHERE wpp.post_type = 'post'
AND wpp.post_status = 'publish'
ORDER BY wpp.post_date DESC

I also wanted this solution and thanks #MikeSchinkle for the original solution. I did use this to export those links in plain text to excel and then build my redirect list.
But then I found that I also wanted a solution with live, active links.
So I used the wp_query using the post type "any" and created a page template with a search form included with the following query (customize to fit your theme as you see fit). Note I had to set the posts_per_page at -1 to return unlimited results. This returns results as: "Title - Permalink"
<?php
$type = 'any';
$args = array (
'post_type' => $type,
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'order' => 'DESC',
);
$temp = $wp_query; // assign ordinal query to temp variable for later use
$wp_query = null;
$wp_query = new WP_Query($args);
if ( $wp_query->have_posts() ) :
while ( $wp_query->have_posts() ) : $wp_query->the_post();
?>
<?php the_title(); ?> - <?php the_permalink() ?><br />
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php else :
echo '<h2>Sorry, we didnt find any results to match. Please search again below or call us at 800-828-4228 and we will be happy to help!</h2>';
get_search_form();
endif;
$wp_query = null;
$wp_query = $temp; // Reset
?>
Hope that helps others.
