Trying to import a site template, but getting error message
Hi,
It seems you have custom features installed which did not get exported in the sitetemplate. I would not use a sitetemplate. I would recomment to look at PNP as it is more updateable than a sitetemplate.

Hello Paul,
Never heard of PNP. Is it a feature that can be used in Sharepoint? Thing is I have a test site where I make the necessary requests made by clients and then I turn it into a template to then put it in the live version of the Sharepoint site.
hi,
You can find more about PnP here https://dev.office.com/patterns-and-practices
hope it helps.

Paul
- Agree with Paul, in general avoid to use a template you got when saving a site as template since you will have this kind of problems when trying to use it...saying this, if you need to use this template you will have to fix first this problems before applying the template. Fortunately, you can create a site collection without applying the template so you can try to enable these features either using the UI or PowerShell

There's infopath forms already done, libraries and views configured...so that it would mean having to make it again... :(
PnP does not migrate data your infopath forms or any other content. it just rolls out your site without using older styles etc. your infopath form can be redeployed manually views of libraries will be included in the PnP xml
