 * Hi
 * So Ive just tried to import my exported site and just realised its produced a.
   wpress file as opposed to a .zip file. The import then failed and Ive just read
   that the .wpress file is actually a failed download, is that right?
 * How can I ensure it produces a zip file?
 * Thanks
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ffailed-migration-3%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * The plugin creates files in a special, wpress format.
    [Here is a comparison of wpress and zip](https://blog.servmask.com/wpress-vs-zip/)
   You can extract wpress files with [this tool](https://traktor.wp-migration.com/).

 * Ok so that shouldn’t be the problem then? Is it worth extracting the contents
   and re packaging as a zip before trying to import?
