 * I have used this plugin on this site on the same host and never had issues. The
   site promotes a yearly conference and new site is based on the prior year. I 
   have attempted to clone the 2022 site multiple times to create a 2023 site and
   each time it hangs. I have upgraded my php I have downgraded my php I have increases
   my memory allocation. I have checked the Flush Object Cache. I have disabled 
   Cache plugins. Nothing seems to work. When I cancel or quite I see that a new
   site (2023) is created but it is not a clone of a previous build, only a empty
   site. I have also tried cloning the 2020 version of the site. It just hangs and
   says 0 of 14 in both boxes on the progress screen

 * I’ve deleted your offer to login to your user’s site. I’m am 100% sure you mean
   well but please **never ask for credentials on these forums.**

 * Now for the why: The internet is a wonderful place full of very nice people and
   a few very bad ones. I’m sure everyone here is very nice however, by giving some
   ones keys to your house you are trusting they wont steal anything. Likewise the
   person who takes the keys is now responsible for the house FOREVER.
 * If something was to go wrong, then you the author may well legally become liable
   for damages, which they would not normally have been as their software is provided
   without warranty.
 * **Please be aware that repeatedly asking for credentials will result in us escalating
   this to the plugins team.**
 * It’s never necessary to do that. Here’s why.
 * There are many ways to get information you need and accessing the user’s site
   is not one of them. That’s going too far.
    - Ask for a link to the [https://pastebin.com/](https://pastebin.com/) or [https://gist.github.com](https://gist.github.com)
      log of the user’s web server error log.
    - Ask the user to create and post a link to their `phpinfo();` output.
    - Ask the user to install the [Health Check plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/health-check/)
      and get the data that way.
    - Walk the user through[ enabling WP_DEBUG](https://codex.wordpress.org/WP_DEBUG#WP_DEBUG_LOG_and_WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY)
      and how to log that output to a file and how to share that file.
    - Walk the user through basic troubleshooting steps such and disabling all other
      plugins, clear their cache and cookies and try again.
    - Ask the user for the step-by-step on how they can reproduce the problem.
 * You get the idea.
 * Volunteer support is not easy. But these forums need to a safe place for all 
   users, experienced or new. Accessing their system that way is a short cut that
   will get you into real trouble in these forums.
