I use a freshly installed local WP 6.1.1 with WP Engine Local: nginx, PHP 8.19. I just tried the WP Plugin and try to export the default “About Me” plugin. I got an error: Unknown error In the console is this error: POST [http://pluginstest.local/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php](http://pluginstest.local/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php) 500 (Internal Server Error) Then I switched to PHP 7.4 and exporting plugin now shows error: incompatible\_archive\_empty Console shows no error, but this message: EXPORT DONE incompatible\_archive\_empty In both cases there is no plugin in the dashboard. ---

Same issue for me. Cannot export the cool\_blocks plugin. I receive a fatal unknown error and the plugin does not show up. I tried to trick it by downloading the plugin and uploading it myself, but it doesn’t work that way either. I am using WP local as well. Same setup: WP 6.1.1, nginx, PHP 8.1.9. ---

Thanks for reporting this. The 1.0.1 with logging of the export process is coming soon and it will help us see and fix whatever is going on. ---

If it helps, I made it to the “make elements editable” lesson, and my export error was: “This is not a Pinegrow project. Use Pinegrow Settings - “Do not check if the project was exported by Pinegrow” to export projects created with the beta version of Pinegrow plugin.” I never had a beta version. Fresh WP 6.1.1 install on local dev, PHP 8.08, Apache ---

I wasn’t able to get any further yet, but I did just get a random popup stating: “Expired beta version. Thank you for testing the Pinegrow beta version! This version of the public beta has expired. Please update the plugin to the latest version, if the beta program is still active. Otherwise, update to the latest release version.” I downloaded the plugin from the payment page link today. ---

I tried the WP Plugin on my remote server (Linux, nginx, PHP 7.4) and it worked. After update to PHP 8.2 I had to enable “Overwriting non-Pinegrow projects” to export plugin. Why? But now to my Local server… You disabled the right click and also Ctrl+C does not work. I had to use DevTools to copy the log. Maybe add a button to copy the log? Here is the log: ```auto Export starter... apiValidated. getCurrentUser and settings. true Got project post with ID 37 Deleted the project error log. true Require the file system... Done. Getting the FS instance... true Checking if this is a PG project... working_dir = C:\Windows\TEMP/export-0zLlXwL6f5 Here is the list of exported files: --- blocks/about-me/about-me_register.php --- blocks/about-me/about-me.js --- inc/wp_pg_helpers.php --- inc/wp_pg_blocks_helpers.php --- blocks/pg-blocks-controls.js --- blocks/pg-blocks-controls.css --- inc/custom.php --- about_me.php --- about-me.css Plugin file will be about-me.php Files written.

Upgrader->install_package... ``` It’s Windows 10. Maybe the different slashes ( / \ ) are a problem? In the Temp directory is only one file “.exported\_by\_pinegrow”. ---

I wonder if you haven’t hit it on the head with your observation about the different slashes in the path. ---

I’m having the same error, “Project export failed: This is not a Pinegrow project”. I’m working through the Build your first custom Gutenberg block tutorials. It exported correctly for the first 6 or 7 tutorials but now won’t export. Here is the export log: `Export starter... apiValidated. getCurrentUser and settings. true Got project post with ID 88 Deleted the project error log. true Require the file system... Done. Getting the FS instance... true Checking if this is a PG project... ERROR - It is not and check is not disabled.` ---

1.0.2 (out now) fixes the issue with the “Not a PG project” error. Please update and report back. ---
