 * Check [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-not-work-49](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-not-work-49)
   and hence review adjusted.
 * ========================================
 * Local WAMP install.
 * Fresh WP install. No other plugins present
 * Wanted to import XML file from wptest.io
 * This is what happens:
 * > The requested URL /wp-content/plugins/best-import/admin/upload-ajax.php was
   > not found on this server.
 * **edit**
    I am editing the rating until I have tried all the authors/devs help
   recommendations to be fair. Do not want to judge before I have not tried everything.
   Though if it does not work I will adjust the rating again.

 * Is WordPress installed in the root directory? Check in the file /wp-content/plugins/
   best-import/admin/upload-ajax.php exists.

 * No, WP is installed in something like root/www/wp/some-theme-name/ for example.
 * Deleted the plugin but happy to give this another shot once I have the dev environment
   set up again. Re-installing WAMP to check for errors and if that does not help
   going to give XAMPP a shot.
 * Regarding your plugin, I have installed it from the Dashboard. If I run WP from
   a dir that is NOT the root is there another installation procedure that I should
   use?
 * Have you seen wptest.io ? Try download a ZIP from them and then tell me please:
   Would I at all be able to import that XML file, Pages, Users, Posts and Media
   they provide with the default settings of your plugin or would I have to buy 
   the pro version to be able to get Users or Pages or Posts, etc imported in one
   go?

 * Our plugin is designed to import custom XML files, the one from wptest.io is 
   just standard XML file exported from WP and you can import it in WP admin -> 
   Tools -> Import.

 * Thank you for your clarification.

 * Do you think I would try another plugin if that would work?
    WP Importer does
   not work with either WAMP or XAMPP, tested both extensively and always the get
   the same error messages. See details in link above if you like to.
 * If you like to suggest an alternative to your plugin and to WP Importer that 
   can handle this standard XML file importing fine I am all ears.
 * Other wise consider this closed since your plugin is not suitable for that and
   the WP Importer does not work.
 * Thank you for your help.

 * i found a solution to my problem that i don’t post because it’s an hard coded
   fix.
 * i change this line in plugins/best-import/admin/admin.php
    `$dir = '/'.str_replace('\\','/',
   substr($path, strpos($path, 'wp-content')));` by `$dir = '/'.str_replace('\\','/',
   substr($path, strpos($path, 'path-to-wordpress-folder')));`
 * and all is OK.
 * My problem was wordpress is in a sub sub folder on my local dev server.
    And 
   best import plugin do like wp is always in root dir of the server.

 * [@e](https://wordpress.org/support/users/e/).lito Wow, nice, I am glad you found
   a solution! Since I am noting using Best Import I cannot test this but am sure
   if you write it works then it should be fine. Happy for you it works.
 * Perhaps this is also the case with WordPress Importer plugin, that it assumes
   WP is in root instead of a sub-folder of the root? I am not sure. At the moment
   I also have a web host looking at all this and will publish my finding when I
   know more.
 * All the best e.lito and thank you for your solution/help!
