    Hi.

    When you clone your site, to another site, Duplicator does not change the upload path in the mysql file, and therefor: uploading plugins, will never work if the server is running linux. “windows creates & stores the plugins, in a new folder, that it makes.

  • Hi spyware,

    Can you post an example of what value is not updating in the “mysql file”?

    Thanks

    Same thing happening here.

    When I try to upload an image into a post it gives me an error saying file permissions are not right…. BUT… it specifies the path from the site you cloned. i.e /home/originalsite/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2011/09

    when it should actually be: /home/duplicatesite/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2011/09.

    Here is the error message I get.

    “myimage.jpg” has failed to upload due to an error
    Unable to create directory /home/originalsite/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2011/09. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

    How do I change this?

    Uploading the images manually via FTP is a temporary work around at the moment.

    Check the following locations to make sure all the paths are correct after you run the installer:

    – Admin/Settings/General: “WordPress address” and “Site address”

    – Admin/Settings/Media: “Store uploads in this folder”

    – Admin/Settings/Permalinks: The .htaccess file is written to when you save this section. If you didn’t do this right after install then the path will not be written to.

    – Be sure to disable any cache plugin and clear your browser Cache.

    – After install you can also open up install-data.sql and look and the transformed sql file and let me what value your needing to get transformed. The wp_options table is a good place to start.

    Currently there is no option in the installer for updating: Admin/Settings/Media

    Check these values and let me know which one fixes your issue and I’ll look at getting the transform request into the next version.

    Thanks
