Preserve the WXR export, not a claim to the whole website
LOCAL EXPORT COMPATIBILITY · NOT A MANAGED CONNECTOR
A WordPress export can be useful evidence of an exported state, but it is not a complete copy of a live site.
Try it
Export WXR through the site tools you already control. Pass that existing XML file to the wordpress-export adapter. It checks for WXR-shaped RSS and rejects entity declarations, then preserves the exact bytes. Verify the UD package locally and keep the WXR for any later import using WordPress itself. The UD adapter does not log into the site, execute XML or fetch linked media.
node packages/udify/src/cli.mjs import wordpress-export source-file result.uds UDS node packages/udify/src/cli.mjs verify result.uds
Limits
An export can omit files, plugins, themes or later edits. The package cannot establish that the export was complete, authentic or equivalent to a backup.
Can I restore a website from the UD package?
UDify does not implement site restoration. It preserves the export; use appropriate WordPress tooling separately.
