Suggstion – possible documentation improvement.

I’ve just used Duplicator for the first time after watching a couple of videos of how to use it.

First of – it comes across as a really well thought through and executed project and I’m impressed by your care in providing a knowledgebase etc.

Thank-you!

I have had problems however and feel that an addition to documentation could be worthwhile. I hope I haven’t missed it (tried reading through).

I did not realise that Duplicator would reset .htaccess. I understand the reasoning and that it makes sense now, but this seems an big omission from the FAQs?

I’d used security plugins to make permissions changes locally, but need to redo those. I’m no expert on htaccess, but looking through my local version cannot see anything which is specific to that server and would not work on the hosted production site (all seems to be relative paths and wildcards).

It would be great to see something which summarises what Duplicator does and does not do so that the manual steps involved in a migration are clearer. I apologise if this is in one of your videos which I’ve not had a chance to look through yet.

I have doubts at the moment because I’m not sure whether htaccess is the only thing changed by the process.

Thanks
Stuart
