Description

When trying to back up my worlds, All have successfully backed up except for one. I have tried the following steps and still cannot get a backup:
1. Disable All
2. Enable only Koina (world that won't export)
3. Flatten Structure (optional, tried with and without)
4. Click Start.

When doing the others usually there was some sort of indicator (waiting for, calling, etc. can't remember exactly what it says), but that does not show in Koina card. Last successful Backup was 13 Nov 2025.
Tried in Edge and Chrome

Steps to Reproduce

1. Disable All
2. Enable only Koina (world that won't export)
3. Flatten Structure (optional, tried with and without)
4. Click Start.

I am having the same problem with this world:

https://www.worldanvil.com/w/travellers-anonymous-lenp

I was able to export it until 2 Apr 2026 but not since 9 Apr 2026. The symptoms are as described above: For this world, when I click Start it doesn't show any progress messages and it does not get exported.

I am still able to export at least some of my other worlds (I haven't tried all of them recently).

I would really appreciate a fix for this because I would like to have a recent backup copy of this world.

The export should be working again, can you try?

Now none of them ran... I will try again later just in case it is timining.

Nope.. no joy. I click deselect, only select the run, click start and it dims but nothing else after that (no indicatory) and wait for 15 minutes, refresh and no export.
kaixabu
for clarity.. it is just the one that does not generate.. the outhers did, like before.

For an additional data point, I previously had issues but just now successfully exported everything I needed. At a glance, it looks like the exported content contains all my articles, historical events, etc.

Just tried again.. still a no go on this one world.

I tried this again. It's still not working on all worlds.

I was able to export one of the worlds I had trouble with before (https://www.worldanvil.com/w/travellers-anonymous-lenp)

but now I am unable to export a different world https://www.worldanvil.com/w/into-the-wilds-lenp that I was previously able to export (last month).

Just checking in. This world still will not export since last November.

I've also noticed that the ones that DID export dont have the images folder for the image json files, which is what I am trying to find/fix currently *redirect URLs are all broken after a world name change. :) Last export I see thatfolder was one from 6/1
kaixabu
Oops, that was one from 2025 so I don't have a clue when that stopped working.

I'm having the same issue. I tried a few days ago (Sep 12) and got the error, and trying again today it fails. All three of my worlds seem to be affected. [An error occurred while scheduling the export: 'Job' object has no attribute 'get_id'].
