Description

Steps to reproduce

  • Populate some posts and categories on a clean WordPress installation.
  • Add some term meta fields to those categories.
  • Go to Tools > Export and export Posts, then All categories.
  • The export file contains no wp:category entry for any categories, hence categories term meta fields are not included.
  • Go back to Tools > Export and export Posts, then a single category.
  • The new export file contains no wp:category entry for the selected category, hence its term meta fields are not included either.

Edit: the ticket description contains an error. When exporting Posts within a single category, its category term meta is indeed included int he export file.

For the record: the problem only affects exporting all categories for posts.

Edit II: IMHO, we should also include tags and any custom taxonomy assigned to posts when exporting them. I will be providing a patch doing that.

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
