    I have been caught a couple of time with WSOD when deplying using Duplicator and it’s baffled me.

    It ended up both times of the site not having a wp-config.php file in the webroot, rather it’s in the home directory above, it’s something that is not flagged when Duplicator is prescanning and you think you have a valid archive.

    Would be a nice to have in a future version.

  • Hey Neil,

    If your using the latest version there should be a warning on Step 2 ‘Scan’ under Server > WordPress. In that sections you will see a title called ‘Core Files’ The message should say something like this:

    If the scanner is unable to locate the wp-config.php file in the root directory, then you will need to manually copy it to its new location.

    Are you not seeing this warning?

    Doh! – yes you are right – I have so much success with the plugin that I don’t even check the warnings ??

    No Problem… I have ran into the issue my-self as well… I may add a check-box to the end of the scanner with warnings just to provide an additional warning…

    Sounds like a good idea – especially for wp.config.php

    Done… Its checked into the Dev line now, will roll with the next release…

    Cheers~
