Export Plugins CSV is a lightweight WordPress plugin that generates a CSV file listing all installed plugins on a site, including whether each plugin is active and whether an update is available.
This plugin is designed for audits, handoffs, and documentation. With a single action, it exports a CSV containing:
- Plugin Name
- Active Status (Active / Inactive)
- Available Update (Yes / No)
It’s especially useful for consultants, agencies, and site owners who need a quick snapshot of a WordPress installation’s plugin state.
- Exports all installed WordPress plugins
- Clearly indicates active vs inactive plugins
- Flags plugins with available updates
- Generates a clean, spreadsheet-ready CSV file
- No configuration required
- Download or clone this repository.
- Upload the plugin folder to
/wp-content/plugins/. - Activate Export Plugins CSV through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
- Use the plugin’s export action to download the CSV file.
Once activated, trigger the export action (as implemented in the plugin) to download a CSV file containing all installed plugins and their statuses.
The CSV headers are:
- Plugin Name
- Active Status
- Available Update
- Technical SEO audits
