    I am currently developing a site on one URL, when the site is compete, I will need to clone it and migrate it to another URL using a cloning tool.

    The plugin is currently registered under site a

    How does WPDatatables handle when I clone the site to URL B ? can I just update the registration/activation section ?
    or will the plugin crash ?
    in your experience, when cloning sites to a different URL, are there any issues that are presented ?

    Hello.
    You should not have any issues to migrate the website along with your plugin tables and settings.

    When you are moving on live site from local or stage site (or vice-versa) we can suggest using Plugin Duplicator. We use it and it’s working fine because it will transfer all the files and also the tables to the database. 

    Other than cloning the site, another option would be to copy all database tables (wp_wpdatatable_#) along with tables wp_wpdatatables, wp_wpdatacharts, wp_wpdatatables_rows and wp_wpdatatables_columns. Then, in wp_options table, you would also need to export the following option_names:

    • wdtPreventDeletingTables
    • wdtUseSeparateCon
    • wdtSeparateCon
    • wdtTimepickerRange
    • wdtTimeFormat
    • wdtTabletWidth
    • wdtTablesPerPage
    • wdtSumFunctionsLabel
    • wdtRenderFilter
    • wdtRenderCharts
    • wdtIncludeBootstrap
    • wdtIncludeBootstrapBackEnd
    • wdtPreventDeletingTables
    • wdtParseShortcodes
    • wdtNumbersAlign
    • wdtBorderRemoval
    • wdtBorderRemovalHeader
    • wdtNumberFormat
    • wdtMobileWidth
    • wdtMinifiedJs
    • wdtMinFunctionsLabel
    • wdtMaxFunctionsLabel
    • wdtLeftOffset
    • wdtTopOffset
    • wdtInterfaceLanguage
    • wdtGeneratedTablesCount
    • wdtFontColorSettings
    • wdtDecimalPlaces
    • wdtCSVDelimiter
    • wdtDateFormat
    • wdtCustomJs
    • wdtCustomCss
    • wdtBaseSkin
    • wdtAvgFunctionsLabel
    • wdtInstallDate
    • wdtRatingDiv
    • wdtMDNewsDiv
    • wdtTempFutureDate

    It is rather cumbersome to do all this, but unfortunately at the moment, it’s the only way. 

    Important to note, for tables linked to an existing data source, you would need to change the file path, because at the moment the file path depends on the domain, so if you change the domain, the URL to the file will also have to be changed.

    Our developers will be working on adding an easier solution to export everything, but we can’t say an ETA on this.

    But you also mentioned about moving the licence/activation,
    we are not allowed to discuss anything about the premium version of the plugin or premium features on this Forum,
    our Agents on our Main support platform can help you with that, though.

    If you have any question about premium options, can you please check with our Premium support on https://tmsplugins.ticksy.com/ ,
    and one of our Agents will advise you as quickly as possible.
    If you don’t have a licence, you can open a Pre-Purchase ticket here, so you won’t have to input any licence key https://tmsplugins.ticksy.com/submit/#100010481. Thank you
