 * I have used WP Clone to copy an existing site to a new one, but it does not work–
   I get this error with the plugins [https://www.screencast.com/t/VpbSo1CDGcQ](https://www.screencast.com/t/VpbSo1CDGcQ)
 * When I visit the site after cloning, it takes me to the url of the original site(
   the site that the clone came from).
 * I have cloned this site lots of times before & it worked perfectly.
 * Any idea why, or how to fix this?
