Import Ninja Forms

    I’m trying to import forms from one site to another. The Export worked fine but on import I’m getting a security error about the file type. I added to the wp-config.php – define(‘ALLOW_UNFILTERED_UPLOADS’, true);

    I also installed a plugin but it doesn’t have the NFF file type and I can’t find the entry specifics for that type.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    My mistake. Cancel.

    You can’t drag the file in from your download folder, it has to be selected by the Import menu.

    Hi LesTexas60,

    Hopefully you’ll be notified about this ‘update’ – I have the same issue, form export from one site works, but form import on the other site doesn’t. Similarly to the above described issue I get an error message mentioning “not a valid format”.

    I don’t understand how you could solve the issue though. I use the Ninja Forms import feature, more specifically the Browse button to choose the exported .nff form file, but on Import button click I always get the same error message, independently of the UTF-8 encoding checkbox state.

    Could you please help me out with this – how exactly did you solve the issue?

    Thanks,
    Lunule

    Nevermind – a plugin check revealed the culprit. It’s the WP Cerber security plugin that doesn’t allow the import of .nff files.

    I kept trying to just drag the file from my local drive into the media area. Thought that would be easy. When I went to “Import” and specified my local drive where the file was downloaded to, everything worked fine.
    Hope this helps.

    Thanks, LesTexas60 – the problem on my side was caused by a security plugin. WP Cerber doesn’t allow the import of .nff files and considers the format as “not valid”, suspicious. ˉ\_(ツ)_/ˉ

    Anyways – I’m glad both of us could solve the import issues.

    So, Did you turn the security plugin off, import the files and then turn it back on?

    Exactly – there’s no other way to solve the conflict. So the process looks like:
    -form export from site 1
    -WP Cerber deactivate on site 2
    -form import on site 2
    -WP Cerber reactivate on site 2

    I wrote about the conflict to the NF support but they didn’t seem to be enthousiastic of the idea to fix the conflict by means of some co-working with the other plugin’s dev team – so it’s worth taking a knowledge base note of the issue and the current solution, as most probably it will not be fixed ‘officially’.
