Installing plugins in a duplicate folder (from wordpress)

    I used the plugin ‘Duplicator’ to duplicate my wordpress folder as two external files (the archive and php installer) and uploaded those into the projectionpictures folder with this path projection (name of the server)/web/projectionpictures.

    I then opended the php file to complete the installation.
    However when I sign into http://192.168.1.234/projectionpictures/wp-login.php and try to install or update further plugins I’m asked to enter connection information for the ftp address of my Synology unit. I’m not sure what the ftp address is but Synology inform me that port 21 is open. I don’t know what the ftp username or password is either, unless I do and don’t realise it.

    What do I have to do now so further plugins can be installed and updated in the newly created projectionpictures as I intend to make it a live site once the plugin problem is solved.

    Changes to the DNS do take a while to propagate to all servers worldwide. How long is highly variable. Depending on the Time to Live (TTL) value of the record, it could take anywhere from an hour to a day. It can be just a few minutes for some people while it still takes hours for others. It’s completely random.

    Thanks very much for that insight. I think for the moment I’m about done. I might need to correspond with you again about how to alter the presentation of certain parts of text of a given page, but at the moment I’ve about done the website. It’s just editing decisions now and what images should go in.

    Much appreciation for all your help.
