Title: Invalid argument error in functions.php Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Invalid argument error in functions.php * [19ninety](https://wordpress.org/support/users/19ninety/) * (@19ninety) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-argument-error-in-functionsphp/) * I’ve used WP Clone to back up a couple of sites, however, today I tried to backup one and I keep getting the error below. I’ve tried uninstalling the plugin, checked the install directory was empty and reinstalled … however, the error still persists. Any ideas how to rectify it? * > Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/sites/a/activetouch- > massage.co.uk/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-clone-by-wp-academy/lib/functions. > php on line 437 > Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/sites/a/activetouch- > massage.co.uk/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-clone-by-wp-academy/lib/functions. > php on line 437 > Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/sites/a/activetouch- > massage.co.uk/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-clone-by-wp-academy/lib/functions. > php on line 437 > Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/sites/a/activetouch- > massage.co.uk/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-clone-by-wp-academy/lib/functions. > php on line 437 > Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/sites/a/activetouch- > massage.co.uk/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-clone-by-wp-academy/lib/functions. > php on line 437 > Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/sites/a/activetouch- > massage.co.uk/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-clone-by-wp-academy/lib/functions. > php on line 437 > Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/sites/a/activetouch- > massage.co.uk/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-clone-by-wp-academy/lib/functions. > php on line 437 > Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/sites/a/activetouch- > massage.co.uk/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-clone-by-wp-academy/lib/functions. > php on line 437 > Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/sites/a/activetouch- > massage.co.uk/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-clone-by-wp-academy/lib/functions. > php on line 437 > Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/sites/a/activetouch- > massage.co.uk/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-clone-by-wp-academy/lib/functions. > php on line 437 > Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/sites/a/activetouch- > massage.co.uk/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-clone-by-wp-academy/lib/functions. > php on line 437 > Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/sites/a/activetouch- > massage.co.uk/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-clone-by-wp-academy/lib/functions. > php on line 437 > Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/sites/a/activetouch- > massage.co.uk/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-clone-by-wp-academy/lib/functions. > php on line 437 > Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/sites/a/activetouch- > massage.co.uk/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-clone-by-wp-academy/lib/functions. > php on line 437 > Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/sites/a/activetouch- > massage.co.uk/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-clone-by-wp-academy/lib/functions. > php on line 437 > Warning: filesize() [function.filesize]: stat failed for /var/sites/a/activetouch- > massage.co.uk/public_html/wp-content/uploads/wp-clone/wpclone_backup_27th_May_2013_01- > 59PM_Act_TGCxi6mDdr.zip in /var/sites/a/activetouch-massage.co.uk/public_html/ > wp-content/plugins/wp-clone-by-wp-academy/lib/functions.php on line 171 > Backup > Successful! > Here is your backup file : > http/activetouch-massage.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/ > wp-clone/wpclone_backup_27th_May_2013_01-59PM_Act_TGCxi6mDdr.zip ( B ) | Copy > URL > (Copy that link and paste it into the “Restore URL” of your new WordPress installation > to clone this site) * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-clone-by-wp-academy/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-clone-by-wp-academy/) Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * [wpacademy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpacademy/) * (@wpacademy) * [12 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-argument-error-in-functionsphp/#post-3789556) * that’s weird,could you mail me your php error log? * [Lucheto](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lucheto/) * (@lucheto) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-argument-error-in-functionsphp/#post-3789581) * I am getting the same error.
