I need to extract all posts from my WordPress DB along with the associated categories and not sure how to write this query. I've taken a couple of stabs at it already with no joy and would appreciate the help?
EDIT: Here's what I have tried already:
SELECT post_title, wpr.object_id, wp_terms.name
FROM wp_terms
INNER JOIN wp_term_taxonomy ON wp_terms.term_id = wp_term_taxonomy.term_id
INNER JOIN wp_term_relationships wpr ON wpr.term_taxonomy_id =
wp_term_taxonomy.term_taxonomy_id
INNER JOIN wp_posts ON ID = wpr.object_id
WHERE taxonomy = 'category'
AND post_type = 'post'
ORDER by post_title
This seems to work but it returns 1,553 where I know I only have 1343 in my DB.
EDIT: We did the same thing on another SQL query a little while ago and found that it was pulling in the revisions and other post types but thought that this was resolved using post_type = 'post'
EDIT: Upon looking at the number of categories in the DB, I come up with a total number of 216, 6 off the number if you subtract 1553 - 1343 = 216. So I think this total number of 1553 is coming from the wp_terms table which needs to be excluded and only those that are active with published posts should be shown?
EDIT: The other possibility is that each post can have multiple categories, hence the reason for having more posts (1553). So how could I separate each posts into multiple categories?
Many thanks!
