# CSV Exporting giving ‘ERR_INVALID_RESPONSE’

 * Hi,
 * This plugin is great and works much nicer than the others around. However a client
   wants to export to CSV and keeps getting this error:
 *     ```
       This site can’t be reached
   
       The web page at http://website.co.uk/wp-admin/edit.php?s&post_status=all&post_type=wpcf7s&action=-1&m=0&wpcf7_contact_form=0&wpcf7s-export=1&paged=1&action2=-1 might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
       ERR_INVALID_RESPONSE
       ```
   
 * (I’ve removed the url of the website for privacy protection)
 * This error appears after every try, no matter what filters I use or anything 
   I do. I’ve upped the server memory, tried removing plugins that could clash but
   still the same error.
 * Anyone else had this problem? Or know what it could be?
 * Cheers,
 * Danny

 * To add more information here:
 * I am using Multisite.
 * I also have CF7 Conditional Fields and CF7 Repeater installed.

 * After more digging, I discovered several gaping flaws with the CSV export feature:
    - CSV export is not compatible with multisite installations.
    - It has a horrendous way of storing data in the database, injecting it into
      the wp_posts table rather than simply creating a new table and allowing for
      easy exports. Why has it been developed like this?! So so bad.
    - It is not compatible wih cf7 repeater fields
 * When I finally switched multisite off temporarily, I could export the CSV file,
   however because of plugin conflicts with cf7 repeater, NONE of the repeater fields
   were showing up.
 * We have over 400 applications that we need to export to a CSV file for legal 
   purposes. This plugin seemed to be the only one that rendered fields correctly
   on the backend of the site.
 * Our approach using this pick n mix of plugins was admittedly a temporary, quick
   solution to give us the functionality we needed until our new system is built.
   However, considering I’ve not even received a response of any kind from the author
   regarding this issue is kinda crap.
 * Fix your database structure, stop throwing things together and you could have
   a very good plugin. But for now, I have to uninstall and manually go through 
   over 400 applications to fix it.
