They made this so we all pay for an “import from file” premium option that was available for free.
This is the last time I use this plugin for backup/restore. This is truly shady business.
I was importing a very important project for a customer and finding out that I just lost the basic import function just because they decided to make it premium is not nice.
As it is now, the last version is pretty much USELESS for a backup/restore as you have to pay for everything.
What is worst, they did this on purpose making it seems like a bug when it’s not. THey should clearly state that the import process is not working anymore unless you pay. At least code it properly or make it a truly premium plugin, which should be a lot better since that way you don’t have to trick anyone and so we won’t waste valued time trying to fix something it was broken on purpose.
Create a backup. Then copy the backup to your new site folder Awi_backups (something like that). Then restore the backup from new site backend. I have found that the import feature has failed to work on any versions anymore. Not sure what AIO has done, but that have made their plugin a complete failure.
Here is the same issue. When I import any file this message is shown up.
Anyone can help me.
Unable to import
Unable to open file for reading. File: C:\Bitnami\wordpress-5.3.2-3\apps\wordpress\htdocs\wp-content\plugins\all-in-one-wp-migration\storage\
This is just a scam. They frustrate the life out of you, deliberately, so you will upgrade to the paid version.
Typical and should not be allowed on the WP platform due to sharp tactics.
