 Currently, the Tools > Export screen in WordPress only allows exporting
 one content type at a time via radio buttons — "All content", "Posts",
 "Pages", or "Media".

 Issue:

 Users who wish to export multiple specific content types (e.g., only Posts
 and Pages) cannot do so in a single operation.

 They are forced to run the export process multiple times and manually
 merge or manage multiple WXR files.

 🛠 Suggested Enhancement:

 Replace the current radio buttons with checkboxes for "Posts", "Pages",
 "Media", and possibly Custom Post Types.

 Allow users to select any combination of content types.

 Update backend logic to collect and package selected types into one export
 file.
