### 󠀁[Works after reading the instructions](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-after-reading-the-instructions/)󠁿

It didn’t work first and didn’t throw an error message. Reading the instructions
again that come with the plugins’ readme I added define('WP_LOAD_IMPORTERS', true);
to my wp-config.php and it worked like a charm. Make sure to add define('WORDPRESS_IMPORTER_EXTENDED_FETCH_ATTACHMENTS',
true); if you’d like to import attachments as well.
