Cannot import lrtemplate in new Lightroom Classic 11.2

Question

Currently I have download a collection of lrtemplate. But I'm unable to import these presets. Below are some actions that I have tried

1. Import from Develop tab --> Presets --> Import Presets

Expected: Import preset successfully

Actual: Got error "The preset file was the wrong type of preset"

2. I turn to another way, use the File --> Import Develop Profile and Presets

Expected: Should be able to import

Actual: There is no lrtemplate in the supported file types

3. I tried one of the most suggested solution on internet, which is copy the files into this folder "C:\Users\....\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Develop Presets\User Presets" and then restart lightroom, hoping it will automatically convert the lrtemplate to XMP format.

Expected: LR Classic will convert the lrtemplate to xmp format

Actual: nothing happens. I believe when converted, the LR Classic will automatically append "~~" in front of these lrtemplate.

Can you please help to advice what action should I take in order to use import successfully?

Thank you

That file is a new-format preset and should have the extension .xmp, not .lrtemplate. When I changed its extension to .xmp, it successfully imported into my LR:

"Develop tab --> Presets --> Import Presets... Got error "The preset file was the wrong type of preset"" That indicates the .lrtemplate file is not a Develop preset but some other kind of preset -- an Effect preset for Masks (formerly called local-adjustment or brush presets), an Export preset, or another kind of preset.  You can figure out the kind of preset by editing the .lrtemplate in a text editor and look for the line starting with "type =".  To install that preset, do Preferences > Presets > Show All Other Lightroom Presets, which will open Windows File Explorer on the Lightroom settings folder. Copy the .lrtemplate file into the corresponding subfolder. Restart LR.  If you have trouble with this, attach the .lrtemplate file here and we can give you move detailed instructions.
