    I try to move a website from one host to an other
    I get this error when importing a .WPress file.

    “Unable to Import. Unable to open file for reading”.

    The import seems to run OK, because it runs from 0% to 100%.
    Then it says something of checking extensions.
    After that I get this errror…… “Unable to Import. Unable to open file for reading”.
    (with a url to the file)

    I checked this topic: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/unable-to-open-file-for-reading-error/ But no problems I encounter. And also could not find an anser in your FAQ

    If the oroginal website is down, can I still use this file to re-create my site?

    Thanx

    Please read this guide: How to Increase Maximum Upload File Size in WordPress

    The easiest way to figure out the problem is to request error logs from your hosting provider for your website, then examine them around the time when you tried to upload the file.
    You will see what limit you have encountered and increasing it will solve the issue.

    The settings in PHP that you likely need to adjust are:

    • upload_max_filesize – set this to a value > than your backup
    • post_max_size – set this to a value > than your backup
    • memory_limit – set this to a value > than your backup
    • max_execution_time – set this to 0 (infinite)
