  I’ve found a couple of existing threads on the question of how I can extract/export all the media files – primarily images – that I’ve added to WordPress over a number of years. And as far as I can see, the consensus seems to be that you just… can’t.

  One of the threads suggested that this was being passed on to the developers to look at. This is welcome, of course, but since I find myself needing to extract images in bulk for a community website I run, I’m keen to know if there’s a likelihood this will be addressed any time soon. Although it’s not a function I’ve ever had to use before, now I need it it does seem like a pretty glaring omission…

  hi,

  As per Staff @kokkieh’s reply at https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/downloading-content-to-save-on-laptop-then-deleting-all-content-from-wordpress-site/, it is not possible to bulk download all your media files.

  A pretty bizarre thing to leave out. But still, thanks for replying.
