Hey … umm … three years later, and no one ever answered this, and now I’m in the same situation.

Is there really no way to re-import your own WF export file back into WF? This is not good. This is not how backups work…

Edit to add: Found the solution – it wasn’t well-documented here in the forum, so I’m posting a link to my [“oh I see now” post](https://discuss.write.as/t/self-hosted-moving-from-one-custom-domain-to-another-whats-involved/18167/4) explaining it.
