Jetpack Contact Form Export Ignores Date Filter
Summary:
The Jetpack plugin's Contact Form export functionality contains a bug where it does not respect the applied date filter. When a user applies a date filter to the form responses and then clicks the 'Export' button, the system exports all responses instead of only the ones that fall within the specified date range.
This behavior defeats the purpose of the filtering feature, forcing users to export and then manually filter a potentially large dataset outside of WordPress. The core issue is that the export function is not using the same date filter parameters that are correctly applied when viewing the responses on the admin screen.
How to Replicate:
- Navigate to the Jetpack Contact Form responses in the WordPress admin area.
- Apply a date filter to the list of responses.
- Observe that the list correctly updates to show only responses from the selected date range.
- Click the 'Export' button to download the responses as a file.
- Check the exported file and observe that it contains all form responses, ignoring the date filter that was applied.
