    Hey.

    First, great plugin!

    I got a warning that there was a serialization error in wp_options. So, I checked the database file that duplicator created. The string was different in the file than in the new database.

    However, when I checked the old database, the string wasn’t the same as the one in the file. In fact, it was exactly the same as in the new database. So, the string in the file was wrong.

    Is this an issue I should be concerned with?

    Thanks!

    Hey Buster,

    It might be a character encoding issue. Is the collation different between DBs. For example is one db ‘latin’ and the other ‘utf8’? Do you happen to have any non ANSII characters in the serialized data?

    Thanks~

    Hey.

    the collation is the same. There were no non anii characters. What was added were “/” around text within quotes.

    Hey Buster,

    Yeah those for most cases should be fine because they are used everywhere in the SQL file to escape nested quotes.

    Maybe try the developer version (0.5.3) it can be found by following these instructions:

    -> Browse to http://ww.wp.xz.cn/extend/plugins/duplicator/developers/
    -> Look for the section “Other Versions”
    -> Click on “Development Version” and download the zip plugin file
    -> Uninstall your current version and install this one
    -> Note: This is a development line version so please test in your sandbox first to make sure you have no issues…

    Let me know if this solves your issue…

    Thanks
