### What issue or error are you experiencing?

I have a new LOCAL account. I have created a copy / zip / whatever of a live WP site and want to load it to LOCAL, but I cannot see how to import the WP All in one plugin; or ANY plugin for that matter.

This seems so basic, but I am a newbie.

Thanks

Hello @Provost1 - welcome to the community! 👋

Have you reviewed this doc about Importing into Local?

>
> This help document will walk you through how to import and export a site to and from Local. It will also go over how to restore from only Local site files. Table of Contents: Local is pretty flexible…

Hi Sam

Not yet.

I’m having a couple of days off to “enhance my calm” 😊
