 * I’m working on a local dev instance of a WP site and trying to export some pages
   I just created so that the production site’s administrator can import them into
   his back end.
 * I’m experiencing a strange situation where every time I hit the export button,
   I’m redirected to the home page of my dev instance and no file is ever exported.
 * I’ve gone through the database and have made sure all domains are pointing to
   the dev instance URL and can’t readily see any config options that are out of
   whack. The rest of the control panel’s functions work fine. Only the export is
   acting wonky.
 * Has anyone seen this phenomenon before? Searching this forum and Google doesn’t
   turn up any similar problem.

 * Bump. I’m trying to get this project finished for the client, and neither one
   of us have seen this problem. Nor have we found a solution yet.
