    Hey! Thank you very much! I just didn't understand if you moved the files (installer + zip) to a new domain server/new server or to your previous/original wordpress website.
    If you moved those to a new one, it'd be great if you could have shown how to create that duplicate domain/staging site/new host for that duplicate because I got a little confused.. (Sorry, English isn't my native language, but much thanks!)

  • @matrixate
    @matrixate 2 роки тому

    When I do this manually, I have to Drop the entries in the db, then import the old one.I don't see why the plugin needs you do delete everything first. Kind of a cumbersome task.
    I haven't tried this but I would install WP on the new site first. I'll get a db made automatically by dong that. Then Copy the db settings from the new wp-config.php file. Lastly, delete the site and use Duplicator with the new db info. Would this work?

      If you didn’t setup an ftp server you could just access the files locally then.

    Thanks! - It's is possible only to move the theme and the design - because i don't want to miss the old URL - and it's a webshop too, so i not have all the products (it's a redesign)
    I use the flatsome-theme

    • @SmartWP
      @SmartWP  4 роки тому

      The method used above will copy the theme as well. After you move your site you’ll need to move your DNS settings you the new server to swap over. Your host most likely can help with that, takes a few minutes. Ideally if you move servers you’ll keep your same domain.

    • @SmartWP
      @SmartWP  4 роки тому +2

      It sounds like your htaccess file isn’t working correctly since permalinks aren’t working. I would try to make a new page and see if it works. If it does then go to the permalink settings and click save and it should flush the cache for permalinks and might help!

      Just a follow up to this in case anyone else has this problem. The installer.php file is unique to exact site clone created (in my case a .daf file). As I was cloning several sites I assumed (wrongly) that I could used the same installer file for each site, hence the error message. I deleted both files from my root directory and reuploaded the installer and .daf file making sure they were a matching pair and it worked just fine. I just followed your video step by step and my site was back. Thanks so much!!
