Duplicator Pro : Live to Local

Hi @Fantou

Ben’s details here might be helpful in finding a workaround or the root issue:

Error Importing Site when trying to drop Duplicator Pro archive zip file

Hey @alhloghomes – I think that usually, the Duplicator Pro plugin works by installing the plugin onto the site you want to migrate to and then using the plugin within the WP Admin to import zip file. If you are unable to use the plugin for whatever reason you can try to manually overcome this by using Local’s import feature. Local tries it’s best to import a site that is contained within a zip file, but not all zip files are created in a way that allows for that. I’ve never tried importing …

We also recommend the free plugin WP Migrate Lite which you can use to create a simple site export that drags and drops right into Local.
