[SOLVED] Export entries incomplete

  1. Hello

    I have a survey with 1200 entries but when exporting I only get a CSV with around 200 entries.

    Any idea about what may be going on?

    Thank you in advance

    Usually, you reach a memory limit or a PHP timeout. Either of these would cut your file off. I've seen this quite often in the exports.

    Have a look at the following article and try to increase your memory available to PHP and WordPress to 256MB or more.

    Also, double check with your host about PHP and MySQL timeouts. It takes a while to pull all the data down and export a CSV from within WordPress, especially if you have more than a few fields of data.

  3. Thank you David,

    But the export is very fast. Doesn't seem to be working and then being cut due to a PHP timeout.

    Even if the export is very fast the problem may be due to memory limit or PHP timeout?

    Best Regards,

    Even if it is fast, it could be due to memory issues. We don't have any built-in limit that would stop you from exporting as much data as you would like.

  5. Solved. Thank you David, you were right. It was a memory issue.
