    I have used AIOWP many times but had this error for the first time.

    I am trying to import a file to a new WP installation on localhost.

    When I attempt to import the migration zip file I get the error “This site can’t provide a secure connection” and it fails

    How can i fix this please.

    The site I am importing is from a live website with SSL to a localhost instance in case that makes a difference

    It sounds like the localhost server is not properly configured. Here’s how you can try to fix the issue:

    1. Reinstall WordPress: Ensure that your localhost WordPress installation is set up correctly. When setting up on localhost, make sure that the site is using http instead of https.

    2. Update WordPress URL Settings:
    – Go to your WordPress dashboard (if accessible).
    – Navigate to **Settings > General**.
    – Change both the “WordPress Address (URL)” and “Site Address (URL)” from https:// to https:// if they are still set to https.

    3. Disable SSL in wp-config.php:
    – Open your wp-config.php file.
    – Add the following lines to force WordPress to use http:

    
define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', false);
$_SERVER['HTTPS'] = 'off';

    4. Clear Browser Cache: Sometimes the browser can cache redirects or SSL settings. Clear your browser cache and try the import again.

    5. Try a Different Browser: If the error persists, try importing the backup using a different browser.

    After trying these steps, your localhost should be properly set up for an import without SSL complications.
