Thank you for your instructions.

This issue still occurs in 2025, but your solution remains effective.

For those encountering issues, I also had to enable external connections to import from the live Kinsta site.

SQL commands:

CREATE USER IF NOT EXISTS ‘root’@‘%’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘password’;

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON _._ TO ‘root’@‘%’ WITH GRANT OPTION;

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
