 * I have installed this plugin: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/)
   
   and when I try to migrate the database the plugin stops and does not finish. 
   The only way to get this to work is to empty the table wp_duplicator_packages
 * I love your plugin and it would make my like much easier if this could be fixed

 * Hi [@rtenny](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rtenny/),
 * Thanks for this feedback. I know it’s been a while but I wanted to follow up 
   and let you know that version 2.6.1 has improved compatibility with Duplicator
   so you should no longer encounter the error you reported.
 * The reason that migrations with Duplicator were failing is because the `duplicator_packages`
   table contains circular references that can cause the migration to hang. In version
   2.6.1, these circular references are now skipped.
 * In addition, WP Migrate Lite 2.6.0 added the ability to exclude tables from your
   export, which means you can easily uncheck a table without having to empty it
   if you ever run into an issue with a specific table again in the future.
 * Finally, I wanted to make sure you were aware that version 2.6.0 introduced full-
   site exports so you can now export your entire site (database + files) as a ZIP
   archive. I mention this because you may find that it lets you accomplish what
   Duplicator was providing for you in the past.

 * Thanks so much for this fix. I appreaciate your hard work. I will checkout the
   full-site export. Thats sounds very intersting.
