Working with a multisite subdir installation, making API calls.
Command line:
wp import wordpressFile.xml –user=1 –authors=create –url=www.mymuliti.com/site5
user 1 is superadmin.
The wordPressFile.xml was created using GUI from another multisite. The import works fine at the top level www.mymulti.com, but when I try to press the xml onto /site5 I get an error: WordPress Importer needs to be activated. Try ‘wp plugin activate wordpress-importer’.
So then I take the suggestion.
Command line: wp plugin activate wordpress-importer
Throws back the unhelpful result:
Warning: Plugin ‘wordpress-importer’ is already active.
Success: Plugin already activated.
A repeat of the import after this warning still fails.
All this is being done through ssh terminal naturally.
