Unserializing data

    This is a wonderful plugin, but I am a bit surprised that it does not run data through maybe_unserialize() before exporting it. Serialized data is not very helpful and is very common in WordPress post meta.

    The plugin does come with the ability to run the export value through a PHP function before export, so I asked it to use maybe_unserialize myself. Oddly enough, while the unserialized data shows up perfectly in the preview, it only exports blank values for these unserialized fields.

    So (1) please consider automatically unserializing (or offering an option to do that) and (2) please check why specifying maybe_unserialize as the “Export the value returned by a PHP function” only works for the preview and not the actual exported data.

    Hi,

    Thanks for getting in touch.

    Most of plugins and theme are using serialize to save data related to post and other data. it has multiple data and some of are hierarchical structure. so it is not possible to manage multiple data with hierarchical structure without serialization. it is high possibility to break structure when you data import.

    If you face any solution for us then suggest us. you can mail me on [email protected] . we will happy to improve our plugin

    let me know if you have any questions.

    Thanks and have a nice day
