Hi,
I tried to migrate the contents of one wordpress install to another to create a sandbox. Found the All-in-One WP Migration plugin and gave it a try. I ended up with four broken websites on the same domain 3 minutes later.

The solution may be simple but it is beyond my knowledge.

I exported the data of verbal.ee (one working instance of WP), I then imported it under verbal.ee/yogin (another, meant for sandbox, which had old data in it before – I did not create a new instance as previoysly import-export functions of MayaShop theme did not require that, so I had no fear..). When I now try to fire up either of these I get different problems – none of the sites on the verbal.ee domain are accessible anymore. Two more subinstallations of WP became inaccessible, even though I did not touch them. I was developing another site (almost finished) under verbal.ee/yogashop and I had an English version of my main site under verbal.ee/eng – both of these have been affected as well.

Situation:
1) If I go to verbal.ee I am redirected to https://verbal.ee/wp-admin/install.php and offered to perform a new install. Before there was a company website running
2) If I go to verbal.ee/yogashop/wp-admin I get a redirect loop of https://verbal.ee/yogin/yogin/yogashop?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fverbal.ee%2Fyogashop%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1/wp-admin/install.php
3) If I go to verbal.ee/eng/wp-admin I get the loop of https://verbal.ee/yogin/yogin/eng/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fverbal.ee%2Feng%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1
4) If I go to verbal.ee/yogashop/wp-admin I get https://verbal.ee/yogin/yogin/yogashop?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fverbal.ee%2Fyogashop%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1/wp-admin/install.php

Is there a simple way to resolve this by overwriting some configuration files? Or did the database potentially get completely corrupted?

Due to hosting I have to use the same database with different WP_prefixes. So they all used the same database. I need at least the verbal.ee/yogashop website back, as I was helping someone else build a site and massive amount of work went in there for the past days. I was about to make a backup… but did not manage to do it yet…

Well, I solved it. More or less. This may be of interest to the plugin authors. Basically, every instance of the root domain verbal.ee had been replaced with verbal.ee/yogin/yogin (with the latter being doubled). This created all the login problems. When I searched and replaced those aproximately 1600 occurences in some 12 different columns I got all my websites back. In addition, the database for my main WP install at verbal.ee had been completely dropped, it was erased. So that is why the “infamous 5 minute install” was being displayed – it looked like a virgin WP install.
The only downside was that for some reason one of the online shops I was building had forgotten all sidebars and style settings set via MayaShop themes special theme options. Not a trace of that data in the database. But I’m pretty much back up and running. And on to make backups, backups, backups. That was a traumatic close shave. Learned to work with databases better, which is a good thing, I guess. I’m reluctant to use the plugin again, though. Some comments from the authors would be welcome. I will be happy to provide more details if needed.

Hi samlowry2000,

I am sorry for the inconvenience caused by the plugin not doing its job.

We did a lot of bug fixing that includes the issue you are having.
Could you give v2.0.0 a try and see if it works for you.

Thank you.
