Overview<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This page will help you in importing your installations to Softaculous. (For eg. If you want to import a WordPress Installation.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to import your installation from a remote server to your local server, you may follow the guide here: https:\/\/www.softaculous.com\/docs\/Remote_Import<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you wish to import bulk installations or do not know what details to enter while importing installation you can use the Bulk Import Utility<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) First click on the Import<\/strong> Tab on the Software page in Softaculous Enduser panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
