Lightroom exporting - only exporting single images and not batches

I have taken a series of headshot photos and want to export them in batches ie by each individual. There are about 10-15 images per person but LR is only allowing me to export an image at a time, which is rather painful!

Are you getting a nasty gram, a message from Lightroom when you attempt the export? Or is it that the end result is just one apparently exported?

Thank you for responding. It was an issue with Mac permissions and LR - spoke to Adobe Support to resolve the issue as I have a stackload of editing to do!! Thank you anyway. Thats an impressive set of initials after your name 😉

1. Are you exporting from a folder or from a collection. If from a collection, does it behave if instead you are in a folder? No, I do not have a reference indicating this would be a problem, but something nagging me in the back of my head.

2. Are you selecting the images when in Library module or Develp module? Fairly sure it works better in the Library module.

3. In Library module, From filmstrip or Grid. Either should work, but are you perhaps in Loupe view? If you are in grid view, does it behave?

Thank you for taking the time to respond. Im so desperate to finish a stack of editing I got in touch with Adobe support and the problem was with Mac permission & LR - absolutely no idea why and why now but its resolved. Thank you

If you're absolutely certain that you're looking in the correct folder, and that it only contains a single file after exporting, try to reset the preferences.

How is LR not allowing to you export?

Have you selected all the images you want to export in Library?

If only one image is selected, only one image will export.
