ha, yes. Everything always works locally. 😀

The problem is getting stuff to work on a production server. We followed the directions exactly (Digital Ocean 1-click install - and everything else works). There is something wrong with the installation, that’s for sure. I see we are not the only ones experiencing the same issue ( see here: [Import failed - I cannot import a migration archive, it fails!](https://forum.ghost.org/t/import-failed-i-cannot-import-a-migration-archive-it-fails/11422))  
Unfortunately, updating the nginx config file doesn’t work as suggested there. Apparently, the import feature doesn’t work on production server based on the Digital Ocean install. What the problem is, I haven’t a clue.

I was hoping this would work, as I wanted to move from Wordpress. Hard to believe it’s so difficult. Spent a day on this, can’t get it work. Can’t imagine we will manually redo 4,000 posts in ghost. They got to figure out a better way to move from Wordpress to Ghost. The current process simply doesn’t work.
