# Empty columns

 * Hi there,
 * I am trying to export my media meta data in order to translate them into another
   language. So I followed this instructions ( [https://gist.github.com/trey8611/b2d92961da869b632fda0dfe17a1c7b8](https://gist.github.com/trey8611/b2d92961da869b632fda0dfe17a1c7b8)).
   But all I get are empty columns when I am exporting my data. My excel-sheet looks
   empty and this is how the file looks in an editor ( [https://i.imgur.com/sd1BXJ7.png](https://i.imgur.com/sd1BXJ7.png)).
 * Any idea what I might be doing wrong?
 * Thanks
    Joe

 * That’s very strange, and I’d really need to see the issue in action to figure
   out why it’s not exporting any data. Please replicate this on a sandbox site 
   at [http://www.wpallimport.com/debug/](http://www.wpallimport.com/debug/), then
   send us the sandbox site URL and a brief description of the issue via [http://www.wpallimport.com/support/](http://www.wpallimport.com/support/).

 * Hi there!
 * Well, my site has about 40 active plugins running. Wouldn’t it be easier if I
   just duplicated my site and gave you the admin login to this duplicate site?
 * Apart from that I can now export title and id. I am not sure why, but maybe it
   results from setting the php-version running on my site on 7.4 (before: 8.0).
   The other columns are still empty…
 * I also tried to import some data in order to check whether importing is possible.
   I did everything the way it was described here ( [https://gist.github.com/trey8611/b2d92961da869b632fda0dfe17a1c7b8](https://gist.github.com/trey8611/b2d92961da869b632fda0dfe17a1c7b8)),
   but I still couldn’t update the data I was aiming for.
 * I also deactivated all plugins except All Export and ALL Import, but this had
   no effect as well.

 * That works fine too, but you’ll need to send us the details here: [http://www.wpallimport.com/support/](http://www.wpallimport.com/support/).
