Is there a tool for exporing Wordpress.com posts to HTML?

Help

Wordpress.com will let me export everything to an XML file, but that has to be loaded into another site, which then downloads the images and other media from wordpress.com. I don’t have any media on the site I need to save - just the posts themselves.

I can go into the post editor and copy-paste them all out by hand from the HTML editor - and I will if I have to - but that’s going to be tedious. Has anyone made a tool that will export the posts as HTML? A DuckDuckGo search did not give me anything.

Goal: To leave Automattic products entirely without losing 15 years of work. (Exporting my Tumblr projects was a two-button-click process.)

i found a plugin that can export your posts into HTML and CSS, though it’s limited as a ZIP archive or local directory if you’re okay with that.

they’re really shilling their managed services, but Simply Static might be a solution for you.

Thanks. I don’t actually need the site to exist anymore in its current form. Mostly I want the HTML so I can republish the stuff worth keeping on my personal site.

I will check out this plugin, though!

just happened to see this and thought of you! wp2bear that exports your wordpress posts into bearblog (and, presumably, markdown?).

Maybe this is not exactly what you’re after but there’s a utility app called sitesucker that downloads entire sites: SiteSucker for macOS

It’s MacOS only but I happen to have it installed so if you want i’m happy to give it a try and make a full copy of your site.

Just let me know.
