  • It works, but it has its flaws

    Overall, it’s a pretty good plugin for exporting comments, but unfortunately I don’t understand why it isn’t integrated into WordPress’s standard export function and requires its own UI. Also, you can only export comments from posts, not from other post types.

  • Easy Peasy

    Just wanted a quick way to export comments on my personal blog, so I could do some analysis on who has been commenting the longest, who has left the most comments, etc. Did exactly what I wanted with little fuss!

  • Amazing! It did exactly what I needed

    I was sweating trying to figure out how to export just Comments from my website. After learning it couldn't be done, God put on my heart to look for a plugin. And I found this one! It did exactly what I needed it to do and I am so grateful for. Kudos to the developers!

  • Exactly what I needed

    Needed to export all comments, to see more easily if there were genuine comments in between thousands of spam comments. Exported it to CSV in one click, imported the CSV in Excel, and voila. Perfect plugin. Uninstalled it because there were no genuine messages, so we disable comments completely now.

  • Does what I needed

    Was able to export comments to a CSV so I should show them to a client which was helpful. Thank you.
