Hello Joy, thanks for your reply, agree with you

My solution is as follow:
01 Start and create a new wordpress installation, don’t run
02 Explore your files > wordpress > content > themes
03 Delete theme twentysixteen and twentynineteen
04 Keep twentyseventeen (will be auto as default)
05 Run dashboard and Customize your site
06 Goto Site Identity and Upload a image (Icon)
08 On dashboard click on visit site
09 Home About Blog Contact, menu structure is present

Robert, Polen.

>I follow your instruction, I try but not so easy to do

Better to have the menu structure already onboard
Is it wp-policy to have this menu structure not onboard (5.2.3)?

Waiting for a solution

Thx Rob, Poland

Hello Joy

Thanks for quick response and advice
I follow your instruction.

Thx Rob, Poland

Final solution 3 steps

01 WordPress, better search and replace
https://mywebsite.eu to https://test.localhost

02 Notepad++ Find and replace
https:\\/\\/mywebsite.eu to https:\\/\\/test.localhost

03 Notepad++ Find mywebsite.eu
IF exist find a solution

Working fine and keep my widget_text in place

Thx Robert, Poland

Hello jnashhawkins, thx for your reply

>Sometimes that just happens
Yes, thanks for your explanation, agree

>The quick fix is to just manually repair that text by copying from the old site and then pasting it to the new.

Yes, I copy the SQL widget_text line with all there components and it works well.

The removing of the widget_text is done by wordpress files.php

wordpress\wp-admin\includes\upgrade.php
wordpress\wp-includes\class-wp-widget.php
wordpress\wp-includes\widgets.php

Witch one is responsible for it I don’t know

>Wayback Machine, I use Notepad++ works for perfect.

Att: When I use the better search and replace plugin.
It don’t happend, it is I ok, all widget_text is preserved

Thx Rob, Poland

I learn that I don’t need a FTP Connection
Add in wp-config.php the next line

/** Set up ‘direct’ method for wordpress, auto update without FTP */
define(‘FS_METHOD’, ‘direct’);

Problem solve… greet and simple

Health check
Debug information – Filesystem permissions
The status of various locations WordPress needs to write files in various scenarios.
The main WordPress directory – Writable
The wp-content directory – Writable
The uploads directory – Writable
The plugins directory – Writable
The themes directory – Writable

>That’s correct WP aks for FTPS details and is working.
I implemented in wp-config.php the follow statements

// forces the filesystem method: “direct”, “ssh”, “ftpext”, or “ftpsockets”
define(‘FS_METHOD’, ‘ftpext’);

// hostname:port combo for your SSH/FTP server
define(‘FTP_HOST’, ‘domain’);

// either your FTP or SSH username
define(‘FTP_USER’, ‘domain’);

// password for FTP_USER username
define(‘FTP_PASS’, ‘password’);

NOW health is reporting (NO ERROR’s)
Your installation of WordPress doesn’t require FTP credentials to perform updates.

Still the problem is the same Installation failed: Could not copy file.

I test NEW plugin I get an ERROR Installation failed: Could not copy file.

I have Health check installed so the only mark is: Your installation of WordPress prompts for FTP credentials to perform updates. (Your site is performing updates over FTP due to file ownership. Talk to your hosting company.)

That’s correct WP aks for FTPS details and is working.

It is NOT only the update for akismet that have that problem.
All my plugin and themes have te same problem…
