frm_xml_filename

Heads up! This article contains PHP code and is intended for developers. We offer this code as a courtesy, but don't provide support for code customizations or 3rd party development.

Use this filter to customize the file name of a downloaded XML export from the Formidable → Import/Export page. The generated XML filename usually includes the site name on the front and the date at the end. e.g. example.formidable.2022-04-28.xml

Usage

add_filter( 'frm_xml_filename', 'change_xml_download_filename' );

Formidable Forms makes advanced site building simple. Launch forms, directories, dashboards, and custom WordPress apps faster than ever before.

Parameters

  • $filename (string): Holds the XML filename prior to the filter being applied.

Examples

Change XML download filename

Use this code example to always sets the downloaded XML file name to formidable-xml-export.xml.

add_filter( 'frm_xml_filename', 'change_xml_download_filename' );
function change_xml_download_filename() {
    return 'formidable-xml-export.xml';
}
