Export Media URLs 3.2Latest
- New – “Repair mis-encoded characters” fixes text stored as UTF-8 but written back through an older character set, so “’” exports as “’” again
- New – “Decode HTML entities” writes the real character behind ’, &, and friends
- New – optional “Replace typographic characters with plain ASCII” for systems that only accept straight quotes and hyphens
- New – CSV field delimiter is selectable: comma, semicolon (Excel in most European locales) or tab
- New – “Keep every record on one line” collapses line breaks stored inside captions and descriptions, so one record is always one CSV line
- New – “One row per usage”: a media item used in 3 posts can now export as 3 rows instead of one combined row
- New – “Only include items that are used somewhere” leaves out items whose Used In count is 0
- New – optional deep scan of custom fields and page-builder data, finding references stored by WooCommerce galleries, ACF, Elementor, Divi and WPBakery
- New – “Used In (post ID)” and “Used In (post type)” columns
- New – developer filters emu_usage_skip_meta_keys and emu_usage_gallery_meta_keys
- Fix – a single invalid byte anywhere in the data no longer breaks the entire JSON download; every value is now guaranteed to be valid UTF-8
- Fix – control characters stored in meta fields no longer leak into the CSV
