Did you perhaps only copy the files and not the database? Or perhaps you emptied the database?

Reason for asking is that one of the errors in the log is about the countdown shortcode that expects a date for the first match and if it can’t find a first match the code just crashes because of a type error. I will change the code a bit to exit in a more ‘graceful’ way, but for now the quickest solution looks to be adding at least one match (unless more is wrong with the database).

Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot Antoine.
