 * Hi [@thenine](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thenine/) thank you for contacting
   us.
 * I’m really sorry for the inconvenience on this one.
 * I did a quick test on my end but I couldn’t reproduce the issue, could you please
   confirm the PHP version that you are using on your server?
 * If it’s a recent version, I would suggest reinstalling the plugin.
 * Also, could you perform a conflict test by disabling your plugins and switching
   to default WP theme and see if the exported file contains proper data after that?(
   before doing this action, create a staging site or a full working backup of your
   site)
 * Let us know how it goes.
 * Regards,
 * Jorge
