 * Dear developer, thank you for your easy and working plugin.
 * I have a form on my website that has various fields, also a checkbox where you
   can mark multiple choices.
 * Unfortunately, all the fields are exported well in CSV but the checkboxes.
 * It is marked as “array” when the user select a multiple choice.
 * in contact form the question is “what language do you know?”
 * <label> Lingue estere che ritiene di conoscere con sufficiente preparazione </
   label>
    [checkbox checkbox-574 “Arabo” “Francese” “Inglese” “Spagnolo” “Tedesco”“
   Altro (specificare di seguito)”]
 * and if the user mark english and spanish, the csv export this as “array” how 
   can i solve this?
 * thank you.

 * I tried also to do different checkboxes (1 valute each) to sidestep the problem,
   but another problems comes in.
 * [checkbox checkbox-574 “Arabic”]
    [checkbox checkbox-575 “French”] [checkbox 
   checkbox-576 “English”]
 * If i use this kind of structure, if the user1 select only Arabic the csv SHOULD
   be like this:
 * NAME | SURNAME | LANGUAGE1 | LANGUAGE2 |LANGUAGE3 | Email |
    john | Doe | Arabic
   | | | [email@email.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exporting-in-csv-checkboxes-marked-as-array/email@email.com?output_format=md)
   |
 * but it comes like this
 * NAME | SURNAME | LANGUAGE1 | Email |LANGUAGE2 | LANGUAGE3 |
    john | Doe | Arabic
   | [email@email.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exporting-in-csv-checkboxes-marked-as-array/email@email.com?output_format=md)
   | | |
 * (empty fields for last)
    and guess what happen when another user compile the 
   form and select language 2 and 3? A mess
 * NAME | SURNAME | LANGUAGE1 | Email |LANGUAGE2 | LANGUAGE3 |
    john | Doe | Arabic
   | [email@email.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exporting-in-csv-checkboxes-marked-as-array/email@email.com?output_format=md)
   | | | mark | Smith | French | English | [noreply@email.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exporting-in-csv-checkboxes-marked-as-array/noreply@email.com?output_format=md)

 * Thank you for your fast fixing the problem, i updated the plugin seems to work
   fine now!
 * Just last thing (sorry if i bother you but users are meant to find bugs lol)
 * did you ever noticed that if you compile one of the field with an “apostrophe”
   don’t know if in english is the right terms, anyway, the surname of a friend 
   of mine is D’amico, if i use d’amico in a text field, exporting i get this error
   on the csv.
