 * Hi
 * It seems that it is not possible to export from data explorer anymore. Trying
   to export results in a blank page. There is a little red flag, but naming etc
   etc seems to be okay. Can anybody help out.

 * Hi Lars,
 * When started this happening? Was there anything changed?
 * What version do you have installed? Can you share some screenshots? Do you see
   any messages in the inspector?
 * Thanks,
    Peter

 * Hi Lars,
 * Thanks for the info! I cannot reproduced this error. It works for me with the
   free and the premium version with different browser. Can you explain step by 
   step how you start the export? Maybe we are following different routes? Maybe
   a step by step guide helps…
 * Thanks,

 * Here we go :
 * 1. Select WP Data Access
    2. Select Manage on the table to make a export on 3.
   Select “Excel” and press the export button 4. A new blank tab pops up and that
   it.
 * The blank tab contains a html start and end tag with head and body tags inbetween

 * I get the same problem. It was first reported by one of our team about December
   10th.
 * When I load the manage table page I get this on the debug console

 * Hi Charles and Lars,
 * It looks like more people are facing this issue, but I cannot reproduce it. I
   need to be able to reproduce this issue to fix it. Can you help? If you have 
   an add blocker installed, can you disable it for the admin page and try if it
   solves the issue?
 * Thanks,
    Peter

 * When you:
    – open the Data Explorer – select Manage on the table to be exported–
   right click the EXPORT button – open the inspector – select the table above the
   EXPORT button – copy outerHTML
 * Can you paste that into a code block for review? Or use the contactform on the
   plugin website or just mail…
 * Thanks,
    Peter

 * Found it!
 * You can forget my previous request. Sorry, I’ll fix this asap, release an update
   this week and let you know. Had one planned an update for this week anyway…
 * Thank you very much for reporting!!!
 * Best regards,
    Peter
