 * I’d like to filter data between specific dates. I’ve tried the “Submited” and“
   submit_time” filters according to other forum posts I’ve seen, but whatever I
   try, when I follow the link I just get a 404.
 * I’m filtering by && submit_time >= followed by:
 * `2016-05-01&&submit_time<=2016-05-31`
 * Here’s what the url looks like at the moment:
 * [https://www.babington.co.uk/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=cfdb-export&form=Business%20Courses&filter=submit_time%3E%3D2016-05-01%26%26submit_time%3C%3D2016-05-31&enc=CSVUTF8](https://www.babington.co.uk/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=cfdb-export&form=Business%20Courses&filter=submit_time%3E%3D2016-05-01%26%26submit_time%3C%3D2016-05-31&enc=CSVUTF8)
 * What am I doing wrong, and how can I fix it?
 * Thanks!

 * What is happening here is that something is not letting you get to the page. 
   Perhaps you have a firewall plugin that is preventing you from navigating to 
   admin-ajax.php.

 * Thanks for your reply.
 * The form exports when I remove the < and > symbols, but keep in the =
 * However, when I do just use = with a form and date I know has form submissions,
   the export is empty apart from column headings.

 * That is because = would have to find submission at the exact time (down to the
   millisecond). If you said “today” it means exactly at midnight.

 * Ok, I see. But doesn’t the fact that this exports show that there’s not a firewall
   blocking admin-ajax, so there must be another reason this link gets a 404?
