Copy File Error

Hi,

may i ask you to try out my latest wp staging version? You find it on github:
https://github.com/WP-Staging/wp-staging/archive/master.zip

This version will tell you which files can not be copied. (Often these files are containing special non utf-8 compatible characters)

Download this zip file and rename it to wp-staging.com. Than uninstall the old current wp-staging plugin and install the latest version.

Alternatively you can extract the zip files and overwrite the files via ftp in folder plugins/wp-staging

Please reach me out at support [at] wp-staging.com and tell me if this worked for you.

Rene,

It worked perfectly. You were right, the files contained UTF-8 characters. I corrected their filenames and the clone worked without any errors.

Just a side note, that version from github doesn’t create the log directory inside the plugin’s folder, I had to manually create that folder and give it the right permissions (755).

Thank you so much for helping me out. Your plugin is awesome! ??

Hello Rene. I have had the same issues with copying files. I have changed permissions on everything on the site but still nothing. I have tried installing the new version that you linked above and still cannot get the files to copy. Database mirrors fine but the files won’t budge. And it isn’t one file, it is any file. Was hoping you could assist me a little. Thanks.

edpirone, do you have root access to your server or are you in a shared hosting plan?

I have root access but avoid it when necessary. I can get any logs that you would want though.

Yes… Try to make a staging site again and give us log details… It might help

Which log though. The plugin log?

Here is a link to download the plugin log.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5150865/wpstglog_2016-03-03.log

Can’t access the log… Says “ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT”

In the link that I just posted? I can access it fine. Want me to paste the contents here?

Yes, in the link.. Maybe it’s because it’s not accessible to the public…

Yes post log here…

That log doesn’t say anything helpful…

Can you post wordpress debug log file?

You need to put this in your wp-config.php

define(‘WP_DEBUG’, false);
define(‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true);

You should fine the log in wp-admin or wp-content folder…

k. ill be back in 10 minutes. Ill do that and then run the staging plugin again to generate some info.

Where does this log file get generated? Im trying to find it now
