 * Dear Samclark01
 * You provide me to less information. I can not help at this moment.
 * Could you turn all other plugins, switch theme to default and try to import this
   file? It works?
 * Cheers,
    Marcin

 * I am using WordPress version – 4.2.1, using Maskitto Light theme. As part of 
   their setup it says to install your plugin and then using the import/export feature
   import all the types from a types.xml file.
 * Thank you for your quick response, I have today stripped the theme from the website
   however the import/export option is still blanked out. It doesn’t seem to be 
   controlled by the theme. I’m really stumped as everything else works really well.
 * I have downloaded, activated and tried. Deactivated, deleted, deleted setup files
   from server, restarted and then re-added etc, but this still does not work.
 * Cheers,
    Sam

 * I note the update, however the option is still greyed out?
 * When i tried on another site, running an older version of wordpress the option
   was fine and seemed to work. So it appears something between the older version
   and the new version of wordpress?
