Wpress-Extractor Windows/Mac

A simple windows app that allows you to extract .wpress files created by the awesome All-in-one-Wp-Migration Wordpress plugin

The extractor source code : https://github.com/yani-/wpress. I had to make a tiny modification to their reader.go file to allow it to run on Windows systems.

Download link

Windows - Download now

Mac - Download now *IMPORTANT FOR MAC: Don't forget to make the binary executable by running a chmod +x wpress_extractor on the downloaded file via the Terminal.

How to extract/open .wpress files ?

Simply provide a path to your downloaded .wpress file as the first commandline argument to the program. ./wpress_extractor /path/to/my/backup.wpress

I'm not very technical - How to use this thing?

Windows Instructions

Simply download the extractor then drop your.wpress file onto the executable (Wpress-extractor.exe). (Thanks hughc!)

OR

1. Download the extractor
2. Create a directory where you wish your files to be extracted to
3. Copy the downloaded extractor to that directory
4. Copy your .wpress file to that directory as well
5. Open up a command prompt
6. CD into the directory you just created, let's say its C:\Wordpress-Backup. The command you'll run would be cd C:\Wordpress-Backup
7. Now run the following command wpress-extractor <name-of-your.wpress file>. For example my .wpress file was fifthsegment.wpress so the command I ran was wpress-extractor fifthsegment.wpress.
8. You'll find your files extracted into the same directory where the extractor was run. In my case it was C:\Wordpress-Backup

wpress-extractor's Issues

How to compress the files back to .wpress ?

Hi, I extract the file successfully, Please let me know how to compress it back?

Showing Not Compatible With My Windows Verison

Please let me know what's system requirements needed to run Wpress-Extractor. Mine is Windows 7.

Doesn't exit cleanly?

Been sitting like this for a few hours, I'm pretty certain in uncompressed everything. I was only after the /upload directory. It doesn't appear to exit cleanly and give me back the command prompt?

Screenshot: http://take.ms/u8d6P

OS Sierra 10.12.3

When i run your wpress extractor message show "contact your software publisher?"

No Clue on Mac OS Sierra

I've tried for a long hour to use the Mac version but have no clue how to get it working.
My back up file is on: "/Users/cisco/Desktop/e"

So am I supposed to open the terminal app and paste this:
"./wpress_extractor /Users/cisco/Desktop/e/backup.wpress" ?

All I see is the "No such file or directory" message

Can some please tell me in simple step by step instructions how to open this on a Mac?

Mac -bash: wpress_extractor: command not found

Downloaded the raw wpress_extractor file and placed it in sen folder, also placed my backup.wpress file in the same folder, cd'ed into the folder and ran cmod +x wpress_extracor, now the file is executable, now when I run wpress_extractor backup.wpress I get -bash: wpress_extractor: command not found

Compress it Back

After the extraction is it possible to compress it back to .WPRESS format.

Getting segmentation fault

I got the error message, using the macOS binary that's behind the "download" link:

[1]    3623 segmentation fault  ./wpress_extractor foo.wpress

Im getting an invalid argument after 30 sec

Hi There! I hope someone reads this. I 've never used GitHub before. Anyway, I have used the .wpress extractor in the past successfully but this time I'm getting an invalid argument after it starts to unpack one of the plugins, the rev slider. Do you think there might be a fix to this? Thank you for your timely response.

Official WPRESS Extractor application

We have release official WPRESS Extractor application with GUI. It supports Windows, MacOS, and Linux: https://traktor.wp-migration.com/

Extracted but missing lots of files

I'm only seeing plugins and mu-plugins when I extract. Exp. https://share.getcloudapp.com/YEuodxpx

What am i missing or doing wrong? I did move to a new empty folder prior to extracting on Mac.

Wpress extractor has only extracted wordpress files not the database.

Hello, I have used wpress-extractor to extract wordpress files and database from .wpress file. It became useful on extracting all the wordpress files but I didn't find database file inside any folder. Please help, because my wpress file contained both the files and the database. Suggest on how to find the database file.

Not an issue but a solution

So firstly thanks for this, hopefully it saves me some time finding an old page backup i need.

so windows cmd is old, long and boring lol.... DRAG REQUIRED FILE ONTO EXE worked perfectly on windows 10 x64

Extract to separate folder instead of the same level of the exe

If possible same name with the .wpress file

I try to compile with Go but unsucess...

do you know other app to extract wpress files on linux?

thanks

Unexpected end of file error

Hi there,

Im trying to extract a .wpress file.
After a while i get an error in CMD.

"Error = EOF"

Anybody know how to fix this?

'file name too long'

Running the extractor on mac is giving me mkdir xxxxxxx > ' : file name too long' and seems to be aborting before spitting out the database.

I've moved the recovery folder to the root of drive just in case that helped but it didn't make a difference.

Permission denied

Hi and thanks for this tool. I am a Mac User and unfortunately unable to run the code in the terminal. The error message is "Permission denied". Do you have any ideas as to what I could do? Any hints would be greatly appreciated!

Ease compilation

Go evolved and added support for go modules.

By adding a go.mod file the underlying dependency can be declared local to project and it won't be put into a global scope.

This also makes it easy to compile this code on any platform (I'm e.g.: using linux).

Don't start extraction from uploads folder.

Upload folder sometimes has thousands of images & thumbnails so it is better if extraction start from plugins or themes or any other folder rather than uploads.

Getting this every time I try to run, I'm on Mac OS High Sierra.

Invalid File Names in Archive

When attempting to extract a wpress file containing an upload file with an invalid file name the extractor fails and returns without completing, can the extractor be extended to simply ignore gracefully and continue the extract? The source wpress file was provided to me and I don't have much information regarding the specifics of the invalid file(s).

I'm running wpress-extractor.exe on a Windows 10 machine.

I can provide a link to the *.wpress file if necessary.

I'd be happy to learn Go, update, and submit a pull request but at the moment I don't know how involved such a "fix" would be. This admittedly might not be relevant to most users.

any chance of an encoder?

I note on the source page you reference that there's source code there for an encoder too; any chance of compiling that into an executable?

Also, a documentation note: for the Windows exe, drag / dropping the archive onto the executable works too, for those that are command-line adverse.
cheers
