About WP Awesome Import & Export
WP Awesome Import & Export moves WordPress data in and out of your site. The listing says it covers posts, pages, custom post types, categories and tags, comments, users, custom taxonomies and custom tables, plus data from plugins such as WooCommerce.
Imports accept CSV, Excel and XML files. Exports can be CSV, Excel, XML or PDF. The listing gives no version, release date or documentation details, so read the files in the package and run a test import on a staging copy before touching live data.

Is it right for you?
A good fit for

How to install WP Awesome Import & Export
- 1
Download the file
Open My Account → Downloads and download the product. If the archive contains several zips (documentation, child theme, licensing files), you need the one named after the product.
- 2
Upload it to WordPress
In your dashboard go to Plugins → Add New Plugin → Upload Plugin and choose the zip.
- 3
Install and activate
Click Install Now, then Activate. If an older or free copy is already installed, WordPress offers to replace it with the uploaded version.
Setup: using WP Awesome Import & Export
- Back up the site. Take a full database backup before any import.
- Read the documentation in the package. The listing doesn't describe the screens, so check how mapping and file formats work.
- Run a small export. Export a handful of posts first to see the file structure.
- Test an import on staging. Import a small file, check the results, then repeat on the live site.
Common problems and fixes
A large import stops or times out
- Why it happens
- Shared hosting limits on execution time, memory or upload size cut the process short.
- How to fix it
- Split the file into smaller batches or raise the PHP limits with your host.
“The link you followed has expired.” when uploading
- Why it happens
- The zip is larger than your server's PHP upload limit (upload_max_filesize / post_max_size).
- How to fix it
- Raise the upload limit in your hosting control panel, or unzip the file and upload the folder to wp-content/plugins with your host's file manager or SFTP.
“The package could not be installed. No valid plugins were found.”
- Why it happens
- The uploaded zip is a bundle (or a theme), not the plugin itself.
- How to fix it
- Unzip the download once and upload the inner zip named after the plugin.
“Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.”
- Why it happens
- Usually a PHP version older than the plugin needs, or a second copy of the same plugin (for example the free version) still active.
- How to fix it
- Check your PHP version under Tools → Site Health → Info, deactivate any other copy of the plugin, and enable WP_DEBUG_LOG to see the exact error.
Licence or “updates unavailable” notices
- Why it happens
- The developer's licence key isn't included. Features that call the developer's servers (template libraries, cloud APIs, automatic updates) need it.
- How to fix it
- Everything that runs locally works without it. For a newer file, use Request an update from your account.
