Local was unable to import SQL files, error message

[JeanD]

Issue Summary

The websites are made within localwp.
So it’s not an import.
I followed the instructions how to reinstall a earlier made website, however I get the message
Local was unable to import the following SQL files

What I found out is that somehow Time Machine did not backup the SQL file.
Not in any of the backups for this site. It does for the other websites.
However I do have the website with the sql file but it had the extension.temp. Local.sql.temp.

I removed the .temp so now it says local.sql

But now I have another error messages see attachment

Troubleshooting Questions

I tried other websites that I made within LocalWP I don’t have the same issue with all the other sites

I am able to create a new plain WP website in Local and to acces it a browser

Replication

I followed the instructions. Make a ZIP file from the websites folder and drag it into LocalWP

System Details

I use the LocalWP version 5,10.5 + 5403

The operatig system I use is macOS BigSur 11,4

Cannot produce a log file because I m not able to import the site into LocalWP

I hope someone has a solution, thank you

Hey, did you sort a solution for this please? I have a site that was made in local and its not showing up in my sites. I tried an import but SQL files don’t import properly and I’m stuck on another method from here.

Hi Laura,

Sorry no, I have not a solution I made the website all over again.

What i do now is that I export the website I worked on and save the exported file. I renew the exportfile every time after I made adjustments to a website.
