 * Tried to export my one and only (gigantic) Tablepress CSV database file. It yields
   a FILE NOT FOUND error for [http://creatingcanadianfamilies.ca/wp-admin/admin-post.php](http://creatingcanadianfamilies.ca/wp-admin/admin-post.php)
 * Tried default theme, and all plugins inactive except the 5 Tablepress plugins
   I use. Is my file too big maybe?

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * This could indicate the server does not like something in the request. It might
   indeed be possible that the size of the table results in a lot of memory being
   used. Some servers then stop the execution and simply return a “404 Not Found”
   error — although the file clearly exists.
 * Unfortunately, this is nothing that I can influence in TablePress, as it affects
   the server configuration. I can therefore only suggest that you ask your webhost
   company about this. They should know the reasons for why the server returns that“
   Not found” error.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Sadly, I am the webhost company, and we’ve already expanded the memory requirements
   up to quite huge. This means we’re lost. The file is locked in and it can’t be
   exported or imported. OH NO! Hmmm… Seems like an odd error. I’ll let this thread
   know if I figure something out. Maybe I’ll delete some entries.

 * Hi,
 * memory was just a guess by me. There might be other reasons in the server configuration
   that can cause this. It might also be a execution issue, or there’s a PHP extension
   installed that blocks the request for security issues or something like that.
   You might want to take a look at the server error logs.
    I’m not a Linux expert,
   so I can’t really help with that however 🙁
 * And no worries, the data is stored in the database as a JSON string, so it’s 
   not lost. If the export really doesn’t work, we can extract the data from that.

 * Ok. I did some more troubleshooting and now I’m getting some new weird things
   when I try import or export with zero plugins loaded.
 * The IMPORT or EXPORT click yields a themeless white page with some code at the
   top of the screen. I understand this may be beyond your support, but you’ve been
   so helpful in the past.

    The value of code seems 
   different each time. Just now I saw:
 * ‘: .95, ‘position’: ‘center’ }); });

 * Hi,
 * from what I can see, that code is part of the admin screens of WordPress.
    However,
   the HTTP request response seems to stop half way, so that not all of the HTML
   is transmitted. Depending on where the data stops (e.g. right between some JavaScript
   code), it can not be parsed properly an will there result in a broken-looking
   page.
 * I suggest that you turn off `WP_DEBUG` in the wp-config.php file to maybe see
   some error messages there.

    Tobias

 * I seem to have resolved this by replacing the file not found page from a backup.
   How odd… so we don’t know what the issue was, but we fixed it. Weirdness. I’ll
   just blame the client. (grin)

 * Hi,
 * ok, that sounds strange, indeed 🙂
    But good that you were able to fix this!
 * Best wishes,
    Tobias
