 * I just bought Store Explorer Deluxe and cannot export anything. I get a csv file
   that says: Warning: readfile(): Filename cannot be empty in /usr/local/pem/vhosts/
   site/webspace/httpdocs/site.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-exporter/
   exporter.php on line 270
 * I have tried exporting every kind of data listed and get the same message. Any
   help would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

 * Hi QueenIdella, this is likely a file permission issue, if you can get in touch
   and I can check this out I can identify what is causing this. In the interim 
   you can change the ‘Delete temporary CSV after export’ export option to Yes and
   your export should work as there is no file storage.

 * I’m having the same problem. i’ve managed to get exports working via the above
   solution, but i would like to know what the underlying permission problem is.
   archiving those CSV exports is something i would like to have working.
