    Per the manual it instructs you to install plug-in, "Widget Importer & Exporter" to import the widgets for the footer and sidebars.

    I downloaded and activated plug-in as described in instructions, but when attempting to import widget from downloaded file it provides me with the following error:

    "You must upload a .wie file generated by this plugin."

    I was sure to install and activate the exact, "Widget Importer & Exporter" plug-in, so am not sure what the issue is.

    Please help correct this. Thanks!

    HI!

    It's bug of this plugin, author must fix it soon or a workaround would be to temporarily add this to wp-config.php:

    define('ALLOW_UNFILTERED_UPLOADS', true);
    

    And temporarily remove or comment out this block in wp-content/plugins/widget-importer-exporter/includes/import.php:

        // Check file type
        // This will also fire if no file uploaded
        $wp_filetype = wp_check_filetype_and_ext( $uploaded_file['tmp_name'], $uploaded_file['name'], false );
        if ( 'wie' != $wp_filetype['ext'] && ! wp_match_mime_types( 'wie', $wp_filetype['type'] ) ) {
          wp_die(
            wp_kses(
              __( 'You must upload a .wie file generated by this plugin.', 'widget-importer-exporter' ),
              array(
                'b' => array()
              )
            ),
            '',
            array( 'back_link' => true )
          );
        }
