Hey @shezra –

That’s definitely an odd error message! Can you let us know a bit more info about what’s going on?

Sometimes Local can have issues importing a site when it gets confused about what to import.

Can you unzip the site backup and work through these steps to create a new zip manually?

  • Create a temporary folder somewhere, for example temp-site on the Desktop
  • Copy the database dump to this folder
  • Copy the wp-content folder to this temp folder
  • Zip up that temp-site
  • Drag and drop the zip onto Local to import it into a new site

Can you take a look at those steps and try to see if that imports the site correctly?

If you are still running into issues, can you please provide your Local Log? See this Community Forum post for instructions on how to do so:

If you have any screenshots of the error can you provide those as well?

Thanks!
