 * I started to receive a message this critical error (about a week ago
    ) if I 
   try to download the reports as an XLSX excel file:
 * An error of type E_ERROR was caused in line 100 of the file wp-content/plugins/
   exports-and-reports/wp-admin-ui/includes/PHP_XLSXWriter/xlsxwriter.class.php.
   Error message: Uncaught Error: Class ‘ZipArchive’ not found in wp-content/plugins/

 * To use the XLSX export format, you’ll need to make sure that your PHP configuration
   includes the Zip extension.
