 * Hello there,
 * I am trying to import my mom’s (free version) WordPress.com blog to a Local Flywheel
   site before moving it to another host service. I have installed the all-in-one
   WP Migration plugin at the local site. When trying to import the blog, I get 
   an error notification:
 * **The file type that you have tried to upload is not compatible with this plugin.
   Please ensure that your file is a .wpress file that was created with the All-
   in-One WP migration plugin.**
 * Is it possible to import from a free WP.com site, where I cannot install the 
   plugin? If it is, how do I do that?
 * Many thanks,
 * Michal

 * You will need to install the plugin first and then export the site.
    It is possible
   on WP.com but the ability to install plugins is a feature included with the Business
   or eCommerce plan.
