 * Hello,
    I don’t know if this is after a latest update, but I have a couple school
   groups that I use this plugin for their sites, so after the summer I came back
   to create a report and now it downloads an empty file where there should definitely
   be records. I’ve double checked that I do have the proper filters selected.
 * I have the following version:
    Wordpress: WooCommerce 3.7.0 WooCommerce Simply
   Order Export 3.0.12 WooCommerce Simply Order Export Add-on: 3.5
 * Have those been tested?

 * Hi,
 * Sorry for inconvenience.
 * Could you please do following for me?
 * 1. Go to WooCommerce > Settings > Order Export, select the fields you intend 
   to export by checking those fields.
 * 2. Click Save Settings button at the bottom of the screen.
 * 3. Once those fields are saved, try to export for intended period.
 * Let me know if this helps.

 * Hi there,
    Thanks for the response. What you described is the process I used.
   I’ve been exporting reports successfully for multiple years. This is new behavior
   this year. However, I followed the steps again with screenshots to show you what
   I’m seeing.

 * Hi,
 * Thanks for responding.
 * Plugin recently went some underlying changes which may need to re-save the settings.
   Could you please let me know if you re-saved the settings and tried exporting?
   If yes, do you have any development/staging site where I can test this issue?

 * Hello
    Did this query have a resolution ? I have just completed a batch of plugin
   updates following the WordPress update and I am returning empty files also. I
   use Simply Order Export and the extra add on. I have saved changes on both the
   main and advanced tabs but still return files with just the header data. If you
   would like me to make a separate support request then please say so. Yours Martin

 * Ankit
 * Many thanks. I have now updated and the files are being created correctly.
    Thank
   you also for your brilliant plugin. We sell plants, each one of which needs an
   identifying label. I use the export file to import into my own label printing
   program, which then automatically generates the correct labels.
 * All the best
    Martin
