'Local' CUSTOM Import: "Uh-oh! Unable to import site ---- Error: Unable to get 'home' option from WordPress"

I’m importing a custom site (not Wordpress site) from Local by Flywheel to Local. I’ve already had success importing a Wordpress website, but this custom site transfer doesn’t work.

It all goes okay with the transferring of files and SQL, until the warning comes up:
“Uh-oh! Unable to import site ---- Error: Unable to get ‘home’ option from WordPress.”

Eventually, unsurprisingly the site doesn’t show in Local.

Why is this error coming up? Especially as I told Local what custom environment i wanted at the beginning, so it should know this isn’t Wordpress.

I can see in the log “ImporterLocalExport”,“message”:“wp-config.php does not exist. Can’t update DB info.”," - doesn’t make any sense, why would it think this is Wordpress?

Here’s the end part of the log when the issues arise:

Hello, I have exactly the same error message (unable to get the “home” option from WordPress. ") While I try to import a Wordpress site. I, on the other hand, is a site Wordpress, I don’t understand.

I have exactly the same problem as the thread opener while importing any “custom” website (not wordpress)
Any workaround?

Thanks in advance for your help
