Creating a staging copy of a website caused a fatal error

Hi,

I use WP Time Capsule for backups on all of my website, and this has the capability to create a staging copy of the live website.

I did this on one of my websites but when I attempted to load up the staging site it showed a critical site error, with the following being emailed to me:

• Error Level: E_ERROR
• Message:?Uncaught InvalidArgumentException: Container doesn’t have a value stored for the “password.generator” key. in /home/<site>/public_html/staging/wp-content/plugins/passwords-evolved/src/DependencyInjection/Container.php:94

• File: /home/<site>/public_html/staging/wp-content/plugins/passwords-evolved/src/DependencyInjection/Container.php
• Line: 94
• Request: /staging/
• Referrer: unknown

To get access to the staging site I FTP’d into the server and renamed your plugin’s directory; this allowed the site to load normally. But, I couldn’t log into the admin dashboard, and each time I attempted to reset my password it didn’t work – very strange.

Thanks

Darren
