 * Greetings! I installed your plug in and exported. The export completed and then
   opened up a new web page that was covered in question marks. I tried using drop
   box the second time and it started opening drop box and then it said “something
   went wrong”
 * Also, if I don’t enter anything in the find/replace box when exporting, does 
   it export the entire website including all the plugins?
 * Thanks
    Dustin

 * Hi aureliendebord,
 * The page full of gibberish after clicking the download button means your server
   is not supporting .wpress mime type – when the mime type does not exist, the 
   server will default to serving the file as text.
 * Thus, you may need to right click and save link as instead of clicking the download
   button or you can also download the file via FTP (wp-content/ai1wm-backups).

 * Oh thanks for the explanation. I will attempt to revise my review. You might 
   want to add a warning in the app to set expectations.

 * Thank you for the suggestions, ericthomson.
    We will see what we can do in the
   future versions of the plugin.

 * Hello, I think I am having the same problem as above. When I click DOWNLOAD LOCALHOST
   I get a page of error messages about MIME.
 * When I right click instead and select ‘save link as’, and click OK, I get an 
   error message on the download (in Chrome), ‘Failed – No file’.
 * I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong! Any tips?
 * Thank you in advance.

 * Hi jessicakennedy,
 * You can download the backup you have exported from wp-content/ai1wm-backups instead.
