Import (.json) file empty

  • Cannot import Field Groups from one (local) site to another (live) site because I get “Import file empty” notification (Admin Area) even though the file is NOT empty.

  • Some servers, while exporting JSON, add one additional byte to the file (so called BOM, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_order_mark). It generates errors while importing, all the JSON file should be without this additional byte. Open JSON file with Notepad, and then save it with “UTF-8” coding. Then the file should be good for importing.

  • i have the same problem
    I exported json file, i upload in local (i use local by flywheel) but it give me the same message

    I also opened with notepad, save in UTF-8 but continue to not work…

  • I have the same problem.
    I use PHP 7.3.22 in both servers, with WP 5.5.1.
    I saved the exported file with UTF-8 encoding, but I still face the same issue.
    Please advise.
