Would you like to change the CSV export delimiter from a comma to something else? WPForms makes this super simple and all you need is a bit of PHP. This tutorial will walk you through how you would change the default `,` to something else for exporting your form entries.

By default, [exported CSVs of WPForms entries](https://wpforms.com/docs/how-to-export-form-entries-to-csv-in-wpforms/) will be separated by a comma. However, some systems that accept CSV data may require an alternate delimiter format.

## Setup

In the example below, we’ll be modifying the CSV separator symbol to be a semicolon instead of a comma.

To add this snippet to your site, you can review [this documentation](https://wpforms.com/developers/how-to-add-custom-php-or-javascript-for-wpforms/ "How to Add Custom PHP or JavaScript for WPForms").

For the purpose of this specific snippet, we recommend that you add the snippet by either creating a site-specific custom plugin or using the [Insert Headers and Footers – Code Snippets by WPCode plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/insert-headers-and-footers/) as mentioned in this documentation.
