March 20, 2014Adding Export Filters for Custom Post Types
The WordPress Export tool makes filters available to posts and pages but not to custom post types. I had a hard time finding code examples or documentation on this subject.

I've included a sound clip, the source code, and a Fritzing sketch along with some thoughts on future plans for the circuit.
