Export TablePress

Hi,

thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

I have seen this before when other (badly coded) plugins or themes were used on the site. Can you therefore please try again after temporarily deactivating all other plugins and after switching to a WordPress default theme like Twenty Sixteen? That way, we can find what’s causing this.

Hi Tobias

It was ‘WP RSS Aggregator’.

When I contact them, what process should I tell was in conflict?

Thanks

John

Hi John,

nice! Good to hear that you found this!

From my experience, they are checking capabilities to strictly, namely on pages that don’t belong to their plugin. I assume that they are only checking for the action URL parameter matching export, which other plugins obviously can also use in their URLs.

Best wishes,
Tobias

P.S.: In case you haven’t, please rate TablePress here in the plugin directory. Thanks!

When I try to run the export function, I receive the same error message as @cecnaadmin. I’ll check to see which one of my plugins is causing the conflict.

WP RSS Aggregator caused my export problem as well. I deactivated it and the export function worked fine.

Hi,

sorry to hear that you are also affected. And thanks for confirming the initial finding as well!

Tobias

I am leaving this here just in case anyone else comes across this bug:

I looked into the code for both the plugins. I have created a ticket at wp-rss-aggregator plugin support page : https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/incompatible-with-tablepress-export/

The problem is in admin-import-export.php,

if ( isset( $_POST['export'] ) && check_admin_referer( 'wprss-settings-export' ) ) {

For now, a quickfix would be to remove && check_admin_referer( 'wprss-settings-export' )and replace it with current_user_can capability check.

Hi,

thanks for those insights! Yes, that might help.

Regards,
Tobias
