Solved Wordpress import

[jimkam]

I have a backed-up wordpress site (using one of the wordpress plugins available) that I would like to import on a cloudron wordpress installation. The plugin's instructions are to copy the archive and and an installer script to the site directory. How can I do this in cloudron?

From previous experience, only the built-in import/export of wordpress works well with the wordpress app we have in our store. For more complex situations mostly the lamp app should work in such a case, however then wordpress has to be updated manually further on.

@jimkam Were you talking about Vaultpress by chance? I'm running into the same situation with doing the builtin restore to restore my WordPress site.

You could try this one: https://wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-wp-migration/
As long as the installation is <500MB you should be good to go (or you have to buy pro/exclude files and upload manually/tamper with the limits), that worked fine as far as I can remember.
