Is there something I need to do differently? Would you kindly provide a minimal working example? Perhaps create a dummy tree and indicate an analogous subtree export target so that the list can try to reproduce. Perhaps someone will catch from the error what the problem is, but having something to try is extremely helpful. Since my subtree export works, I'm at a loss for how to diagnose why yours doesn't. Even better would be a minimal configuration file that also replicates your issue. In this way, users can replicate your exact setup with: - emacs -Q - M-x load-file RET ~/path/to/your/provided/min-config - navigate to subtree you've indicated - C-c C-e C-s H O Make sense? This should be standard for any error you encounter sent to the list, as a lot of these are likely going to come down to a nuance in your actual file, your emacs config, or possible an actual bug (in which case M-x org-version is also very helpful).
