I disabled all plugins except Woocommerce and Advanced Order Export and still nothing. * I tried to construct the link as well and it gives an empty white page with ‘ 0’ on it. * **UPDATE** * I tried the link again and something happened, because now it is working. The function is still not working though. How could I assign the link elegantly to a button then? - This reply was modified 6 years, 7 months ago by [tom3r](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tom3r/). * Plugin Author [algol.plus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/algolplus/) * (@algolplus) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/run-export-from-a-function/#post-12013228) * the link/button works only if you’re logged in. * [https://www.w3docs.com/snippets/html/how-to-create-an-html-button-that-acts-like-a-link.html](https://www.w3docs.com/snippets/html/how-to-create-an-html-button-that-acts-like-a-link.html) * Thread Starter [tom3r](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tom3r/) * (@tom3r) * [6 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/run-export-from-a-function/#post-12013282) * That is no problem, in fact it should only work when user is logged in and clicks the button on the admin panel. Thanks for the link. * Do you have any idea why the function call is not working?

Thanks a lot for everything Alex!
