# Export options missing

 * Hello,
    I’m using WordPress 4.1 and am trying to export certain posts. Reading
   online, my understanding is that after clicking Tools>Export in wp-admin, the
   export options should look something like this:
 * [http://en.support.wordpress.com/export/](http://en.support.wordpress.com/export/)
 * (I do note this is WordPress.com)
 * However, the only options I can see in my localhost installation are:
 * Choose what to export:
    * All content * Posts * Pages
 * And then there is the download export file button. There are no options to export
   a category or author etc.
 * Am I missing something? Or is there an up-to-date plugin I can use to provide
   these options? I couldn’t find any, but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist.
 * Thanks,
    Trish

 * Oh ok, now I feel silly, didn’t realise you had to click for each option! Thank
   you 🙂
