Combining wordpress folders with database for import

What issue or error are you experiencing?

I’ve backed up a wordpress site using FTP and have the folders; I also have the mysql database. I can import the folders from a zip file, but the import fails when it attempts to import the database. How can I combine the folders and database into a single zip file to import into localwp?


Hi @slabydl

As a workaround you can create a new, blank site in Local and then import the content and database separately. We have instructions here:

Manually Import a Local Site

Thank you. I’ll try it and if I have any problems will respond here.
