 * Hey, the plugin is amazing, exactly what we need. I’m using it in the admin side
   of WP, the functionalities of your plugin perfectly work except the csv’s export.
   
   A blank page appear with: Request-URI Too Long
 * The requested URL’s length exceeds the capacity limit for this server.
    Apache/
   2.4.23 (Win64) PHP/5.6.25
 * I’m not sure how to fix it, the table to display is quit big (1939 rows), I think
   that’s why it’s not working. Do you have any idea how could I fix it ?

 * Perfect glad you like it and find it useful!
 * I recently switched the CSV export from calculating the export server side to
   calculating the excerpt client side. So basically it is going to request a URL
   with every id from the table in it (?action=wp_ajax_dbte_export_csv&ids=1,2,3,4,5…
   so if that string gets long you can exceed the server/browsers URL / url param
   limit.
 * Apache supports an 8000 char limit by default, perhaps the browser is blocking
   it.
 * Maybe look here:
    [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7724270/max-size-of-url-parameters-in-get](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7724270/max-size-of-url-parameters-in-get)
 * —-
 * Its possible that I need to run the export as a post instead of an ajax request
   if the url parameter string is too long.
 * You might try experimenting with changing the Definition of DBTableEditor.exportCSV
   to try posting to that URL instead of redirecting. I probably wont get to this
   today. But if you cannot get it resolved, I might be able to help soon.

 * I am having the same issue, Request-URI Too Long, and unfortunately I am unable
   to increase the Request-URI limit at the server end. Is there a workaround for
   this? Thanks!

 * I haven’t been able to find one yet. I’ve tried the instructions bobby gave but
   I’m not exactly sure what to do with them.
    I’ve read on other forum that using
   post instead of get would fix the issue, but I’m not skilled enough to understand
   the plugin code and modify it by myself.

 * Alright, I just posted version 1.6.1 which creates a form and posts it instead
   of using a GET request. It seems to work for me and should resolve this issue.
