How to Open and Extract a .wpress file?

Because .wpress is a custom archive file format of All in One Migration WordPress plugin it cannot be open with regular compression tools such as 7zip, rar, zip, tar, gunzip. Fortunately the ServerMask team has provided a golang source code that can open the file https://github.com/yani-/wpress which the Orbisius team has used to create a free command line tool.

If you need to extract the contents of .wpress on Windows/Linux/Mac you can use orbisius_wpress program to do that.
