    Install the Disable Real MIME Check plugin if you are encountering this error:

    You must upload a .wie file generated by this plugin

    WordPress 4.7.1 introduced a bug that causes uploads of various file types in all areas to fail. This is not an issue specific to Widget Importer & Exporter. It affects WordPress in general and will be fixed with the release of WordPress 4.7.2. The plugin linked above is a temporary workaround.

    @divimonster Updating the plugin to the latest version (1.4.4) resolves an issue causing, “You must upload a .wie file generated by this plugin” when importing a WIE file.

    You mentioned generating a .wie file. If you’re having a problem exporting, then that is a different issue. Please open a separate support thread with more details (ie. what happens when you click Export — an error, white screen, nothing, etc.).
