WordPress Link Extractor Tool – Fix Errors and Export Links Easily

Looking for a simple WordPress link extractor tool to help manage your blog? I’ve created a handy utility that makes checking post content and managing external links much easier. This WordPress link extractor tool offers two main functions that can save you hours of manual work.

Key Features of the WordPress Link Extractor Tool

1. Parses your post’s content as XML and identifies possible errors
2. Extracts all external links from your WordPress site for easy management
3. Exports link data to Excel-compatible format for further analysis

WordPress Link Extractor for Content Error Detection

The tool wraps each post’s content with XML dummy tags and processes it through Microsoft’s XML parser. This powerful feature checks your XML structure and highlights any errors. It’s particularly good at catching typos and structural issues in your content.

While it works well for most content, be aware that code snippets might trigger false positives. The tool displays raw output for each post, giving you a clear view of potential problems.

External Link Management with the WordPress Link Extractor

This was my main reason for creating this tool. I needed to extract all links from my blog and check if they followed my “lowercase word-hyphen-word” standard. The WordPress link extractor makes this process simple.

You can export all links as a tab-delimited file, which opens seamlessly in Excel or other spreadsheet programs. This makes link auditing and management much more efficient.

How to Use the WordPress Link Extractor Tool

1. Download a WordPress eXtended RSS export of your blog from Tools > Export in your WordPress admin panel
2. Launch the WordPress Link Extractor Tool on your computer
3. Click ‘Select File’ and browse to your downloaded XML file
4. The tool automatically generates a report of all links found
5. Switch to the Errors tab to see any content structure issues
6. Use the Export button to save either links or errors to a tab-delimited file for Excel (post content isn’t included in the export)
