 * I have already de-activated the old WPDM plugin and activated the new DM plugin
   but still see this message upon attempting to run the Legacy Import function:
 * _Please de-activate the old Download Monitor plugin and activate the new Download
   Monitor plugin before continuing with the import. This will ensure the required
   post types and taxonomies exist prior to the migration._
