  Hello,

  I had a paid wordpress-based site on another domain. I closed it a while ago and created a backup file with All in one migration pack. The result was a .wpress file and I thought it was just fine.

  Then I wanted to move the contents to a non paid WordPress site. Turns out the WordPress import options don’t support importing a .wpress file and I have no clue how to convert .wpress to a .xml.

  What to do?

  The original site doesn’t exist anymore and the new WordPress site is still blank.

  All I have is a .wpress backup file and looks like I can’t import it without AIO Migration plug-in. So the .wpress should be converted to a .xml file… How?

  Hi villamallio,

  .xml is the only supported file extension for imports on WordPress.com. I haven’t used the All in One Migration Pack myself, so I’m not sure whether there is a way to convert the .wpress file to .xml.

  However, there is a dedicated WordPress.org support forum for this plugin so you could try posting there for advice:

  https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/all-in-one-wp-migration

  The theme authors may know a way to convert the file you have. In the meantime, we’ll be here if you manage to get hold of an .xml file and have questions about the import process.
