I receive the following error when trying to Import a site from WP Engine.
Troubleshooting Questions
Does this happen for all sites in Local, or just one in particular?
I can’t import any sites. When setting up a new site I don’t see the error but it does not import the site.
Are you able to create a new, plain WordPress site in Local and access it in a Browser?
Yes
System Details
Which version of Local is being used?
6.5.1
What Operating System (OS) and OS version is being used?
macOS Ventura
Attach the Local Log. See this Help Doc for instructions on how to do so:
I’m seeing a lot of connection errors in the logs. Do you have any other programs or applications running simultaneously that could be closed down? You may try a complete restart and then ensure everything else is closed before attempting the direct import of the zip backup again.
This particular site is a little larger at 1.84G but have tried importing another site as small as 495mb to see if it was a site specific issue, with no luck.
I pretty much only have Chrome and Local running. I have also tried a full restart as well. Tried exhausting all options possible before reaching out.
Hi again! I’ve been discussing this with one of my WP Engine peers and they are going to spin up a ticket to follow up with you directly. I’m going to direct message you as well so we can ask for some more details.
Also if you pay for hosting with WP Engine feel free to reach out to support directly to get a ticket going for further assistance if you would prefer.
