• CAUTION: have exported my local website with WP all in one plugin… in the meantime I installed WP on my web host… now my Local website can no longer be accessed because of the WP installation on the web host (I had to change the local storage data to do that)… and now my exported WP file is larger than the free version to upload via WP all in one plugin and via WPvivid the import does not work, because WPvivid says that the exported file was not exported with WPvivid… now my complete WP Local website is not accessable anymore and within the web host I have to rebuild it completely as it can't be imported with those plugins metnioned here, unless I pay 69 $ / year. If someone knows a solution i would be very happy. If not, I advise caution to follow these instructions here
