Post your question on support forum and we will try to answer your question as quick as possible. ### Why did you make this plugin? We couldn’t find a plugin that would export media URLs, along with additional data such as name, date and type. So, we make this utility, and it works just like that. ### In what scenarios can this plugin be beneficial? The plugin proves to be extremely useful during tasks such as website migration, SEO analysis, and security audits. It simplifies the process of managing and understanding your media assets, providing valuable insights. ### Can I export the extracted data in a specific format? Yes, the plugin supports exporting data in CSV format, offering a structured and easily readable output that can be utilized for further analysis or documentation. ### Why the file name is randomly generated? Exporting the file with static name can be easily found by malicious attacker, and may result in sensitive information leakage. So we decided to generate random name, which are harder to guess. ### Can I view and manage URLs directly within the WordPress dashboard? Yes, the plugin allows you to conveniently view and manage extracted URLs directly within the WordPress dashboard, providing a seamless and centralized experience. ### Is it user-friendly for individuals with minimal technical knowledge? Absolutely! This plugin is designed with user-friendliness in mind. Its intuitive interface ensures that users, regardless of their technical expertise, can efficiently navigate and utilize its features. ### Is there a limit to the number of URLs that can be processed by the plugin? The plugin’s capacity to handle URLs depends on your server configuration and resources. For average website, this is not a big concern. And if you ran into any issue, try increasing server resource or reach out to support and we’ll be happy to help. ### Does Export Media URLs make changes to the database? No. It has no settings / configurations to store so it does not touch the database. ### Is this plugin compatible with the latest version of WordPress?
