A CSV export with no matching FAQs answers content: "" and filename: "plugixa-faqs-export.csv", without mime and total. The decoded JSON file looks like this; a CSV file has the same columns, with a UTF-8 byte order mark for Excel:

{
  "plugin": "plugixa-faq",
  "version": "1.0.1",
  "exported_at": "2026-11-12T09:30:00+00:00",
  "total": 1,
  "faqs": [
    {
      "id": 42,
      "question": "How long does shipping take?",
      "answer": "<p>Orders ship within 2 business days.</p>",
      "category_name": "Shipping",
      "image_url": "",
      "status": "published",
      "menu_order": 0,
