At some stage during your usage of the Wordpress mailing list plugin, you might need to export your current subscribers of either all lists or a specific mailing list for backup purposes or for alternate use.
The plugin allows you to export a CSV spreadsheet which you can immediately download and an additional (optional) feature which allows you to email the CSV document to a specific email address as an attachment.
In order to export your subscribers, navigate to the “Mailing List” > “Import/Export” section of your Wordpress dashboard. Scroll down past the “Import” section, until you see the “Export” heading.
First you need to select the specific mailing list of which you’d like to export the subscribers from. There is also an option entitled “All Mailing Lists” which will export all the subscribers from all the available mailing lists.
An additional feature is available, allowing you to email the exported CSV to an email address as an email attachment. In order to use this, check the “Send as an email attachment” checkbox and fill in the email address to which you’d like to send the exported file. The default email address in the field will always be the Wordpress administrator’s email address.
