Breaks sites after duplication

Hi, I have the same issue with two websites this week. I used duplicator for sites launch from dev to the main domain dozens of times and never had issues before. Now have the same problem with two different sites, transferred to different hostings.

1. Themes options and settings are not transferred – themes go to default set up, custom css is lost
2. Structure of permalinks changes from postname to custom, and the plugin adds some long line of numbers as part of that custom permalink – as a result, nearly all links of the site are broken.
3. Percentage symbol – % – gets replaced by the same strange long line of numbers, and it breaks all CSS values with % on pages, built with page builder.

Technically, it leads to reconfiguring theme and every page manually, using search regex for replacing that strange numbers with % again etc. Once flawless launch experience became a nightmare.

The two sites I have problems with, use the latest versions of WordPress and all plugins, use different themes. However, both themes use Visual Composer for a builder.

I already fixed them, but still have packages for both sites and can make a ‘broken’ one for experiment purposes if you like.

I do love Duplicator and use it a lot and hope that’s something that can be fixed
