    multisite import
    Resolvedjohntennant (@johntennant)

    I have reposted this because you marked it as resolved, but I do not think you understand. Your solution to upload it myself does not work because I only have a .wpress file that I cannot upload to my wp multi-site.

    I am trying to import a .wpress file into my blog that happens to be a wp multisite. I know there is a multisite plugin (for purchase), but I do not want that. I simply want to import a single .wpress file into a single blog on the network. It seems unduly onerous to have to pay $200 to do this.

    Perhaps I did not make it clear. I cannot simply move the site. I cannot install the site from a .wpress file that I purchased as a dfy website.

    It does not make sense that I could upload the .wpress file if I had a single wp installation, but cannot because I have a wp multi-site installation.

    I just want to upload the single .wpress file to a single site. I am not looking for any multi-site functionality (for $200).

    A single site in a multisite/network install is not the same as a standalone WordPress install.
    You are importing a wpress file into multisite WordPress install and this is only available with the Multisite extension ($199).
    WordPress Multisite is much more complex than a standalone WordPress install and requires additional changes in the import process. Importing a single site into a multisite is a very complex process that requires many changes in the database structure.

    You can post onto the same topic, you do not need to open a new one to follow up on a reply.

    So is there some way I can salvage my .wpress file eg convert it to a wp export file? If there is no easy way to do it with wordpress, can you convert it for me?

    In this way I can upload to my multi-site without the need to purchase your very expensive multi-site extension. I do not need your extension for any other purpose.

    You say multi-site is too complex for your basic plugin. It seems bizarre that the standard wp export functionality works fine with multi-site, but your plugin requires a major expensive upgrade.

    If you are going to invent your own file format to replace standard wp format, you should at least do the same basic stuff with your basic plugin.

    I am stuck with a purchased .wpress website file that is useless to me. Because I bought it about 3 months ago (too many shiny objects to get anything done), the guarantee period is over and I cannot get a refund. The vendor says it must be your plugin that is causing the problem. Definitely an integrity issue there.

    Nice vicious circle.

    It occurred to me that I could buy your extension plugin, upload my files, and then get a refund because it is of no further value to me. Of course that would not be ethical, so I won’t.

    I would appreciate any help you could provide to get around this problem.

    You can extract the contents of the wpress file with the tools here: https://traktor.wp-migration.com

    The standard wp export functionality is limited and will not do a complete transfer of your site.

    Contact your vendor.

    It is also know as chargeback/friendly fraud and is a type of larceny.

    I would appreciate any help you could provide to get around this problem.

    Best to reach over to the vendor from whom you’ve purchased this wpress file, there is nothing else that I can help you with apart from what I have already said.
