‘Sorry, you are not allowed to upload this file type.’

Version 1.19.3.1

I needed to do a clean install of BuddyBoss. I found this plugin & hoped for the best.

Installed the plugin, exported all users (only 170) with all default settings,
Wiped the WP install, reinstalled, re-added plugin from same download.
Imported the file this plugin created & got the message
“Problem uploading file to import. Error details: ‘Sorry, you are not allowed to upload this file type.’”

I saw the note at the top of the import page regarding the first 2 columns needing to be ‘username’ & ’email’. The file that was exported had ‘user_login’ & ‘user_email’, so I tried renaming those, hoping that would do it, but to no avail.

Other than BuddyBoss, this is the first/only plugin I’ve added.

Am I screwed? Am I manually entering all users from a printed list?
Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi. You’re my only hope.
