# Plugins folder causing issues after migration

 * I copied the files and the database to my test server, and updated wp_options,
   replacing the url of the live site by the one of the test site.
    When I try to
   access the test site I get a long list of errors:
 * Warning: include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening ‘core/fields/tab.php’
   for inclusion (include_path=’.:/opt/alt/php53/usr/share/pear:/opt/alt/php53/usr/
   share/php’) in /xxx/yyy/plugins/zzz/xxx.php on line XX
 * The site loads if I move the plugins out of the plugins folder.
    The files are
   all there (in the plugins folder)… Any idea why this is happening and how to 
   fix this issue? Thanks!

 * If you can access to the dashboard,
 * Disable all the plugins and then enable them one by one to find which one is 
   causing the problem.

 * Hi Edwin, thanks for your reply! I did that and 2 plugins are causing the issue.
   But I’m trying to find a solution for the future as I am doing this operation
   quite often and it’s annoying to have to delete the plugins and reinstall them…

 * I migrate sites very often for my clients so I understand.
 * If you figured out what plugins trigger the errors, you might want to post another
   thread on the specific forum for each plugin, so the authors can help you find
   the best way to go.
 * Cheers
