I second Duplicator, and have used it successfully several times before, going from local to live.

It’s a shame that this thread seems to have been ignored lately. If I could get it to work, the advantage of this plugin over Duplicator would be that I could push changes back and forth between dev/live versions of a site without having to re-enter DB info every time.

I understand that now, I just didn’t realize it had already been defined.

I do need to get better about remembering to check my logs. This isn’t the first time I’ve asked for help before doing so, and I always kick myself for it.

It was not commented out, but I did find the problem.

I dug around wp-config.php, and found that define('WP_DEBUG', false); was already in there for some reason, higher up in the file.

I’d figure that setting it to true at the bottom of the file would have overridden that setting, but apparently it didn’t. Removing it from the bottom, and setting the first instance to true solved it.

So while it was by no means a difficult fix, it wasn’t quite “simple as that”.

Reintalled WP from scratch, installed WP Clone, and that resurfaced the problem. Hopefully that’ll help you get things figured out. ??

I was, yes.

The new site is a clone of one I was running on localhost (cloned with a plugin called Duplicator).

Another Rackspace Cloud Site that I also cloned from localhost also runs WP Clone correctly as well.

I’m going to delete the existing installation on the sandbox site, and re-install WordPress from scratch, to see if that recreates the scenario where WP Clone will not run.

(While Duplicator works well, there are some instances where I’d prefer the way WP Clone works, so I’m interested in helping to get this sorted ?? )

So… I created the sandbox site, installed the plugin, tested to make sure it had the same problem… and it worked just fine.

I’m sending the info anyhow.

Sorry for the delay. I’m setting up a site right now, and will send the login info as soon as I am done.

If it would be helpful, I could set up a sandbox site for you to work with directly.

It’s a cloud site on Rackspace, and we have several other sites set up the same way. I just tested the plugin on another cloud site, and got the same results. It does work on localhost, though.

Yes, it does the exact same thing.

(Thanks very much for the responsiveness, btw)

My mistake, ignore that last post. I accidentally had the local dev site open when I tried that, and it worked there.

If I chose the Alternate zip method in Advanced Settings, everything works as expected.

And no, I don’t have that plugin. I have a few different clone/backup plugins installed, but not activated. The only plugin that’s activated aside from this one is Akismet.

Nope, no errors in the console
