 * I am unable to set up a staging site because the “Start Cloning” (and back) buttons
   are missing.
 * I have tried in PHP 7.0.3 and PHP 5.6.17, but changing PHP version did not fix.
 * All plugins are disabled during process, (was getting fatal error).
    Theme: Avada(
   current vers).
 * No log entries created.

 * Hi Rene,
 * I printed the Query Monitor report to pdf and sent it to you on the above email.
   the only php issues reported were related to a single plugin using the deprecated
   function wpdb::escape
 * I tried disabling that plugin but it did not seem to make any difference.
