Title: Validate button doesn’t work anymore Last modified: January 9, 2025 --- # Validate button doesn’t work anymore * Resolved [sino27](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sino27/) * (@sino27) * [1 year, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/validate-button-doesnt-work-anymore/) * Hey guys. I am pulling my hair out. The reason is I have done this countless times over the years and now it doesn’t work out of the blue. I don’t understand what is causing it. Situation: I am trying to install a new website from Duplicator archive and installer.php. Example: I have my Wordpres blueprint so to speak and then I move it with Duplicator to other instances only my server when I work for other clients. This worked for me like a breeze. Now there is this super weird issue.So basically the folder is empty, the database is created, I have all the credentials. I upload the installer and zip file to an empty folder. I access installer.php from my browser. And everything is exactly as it was since ever. I can see the installer page. I enter the db name, db username, db password. But the Validate button does not work! It simply refuses to do anything. I noticed I can’t use any button. For example at the top right corner, the buttons BASIC- ADVANCED also don’t work. default or cpanel button doesn’t work.One interesting visual discrepancy – password field – when I enter a password for my database only in that field password font is like 50% smaller ?!?And from there I can’t go anywhere. It is not a browser issue because I tried 4 browsers now. It can not be some plugin or theme interference because there is none.These are the entries from dup-installer log file which I don’t know how to interpret and are they cause for my issue?[Jan 9 13:17:04] [PHP ERR][ISSUE] MSG:Creation of dynamic property DUPX_Bootstrap::$extractionTmpFolder is deprecated [CODE:8192|FILE:/ var/www/vhosts/mydomainhere/httpdocs/staging/myfolder/installer.php|LINE:99]Everything else seems to end with “success”What are my options, and where to look? I thought maybe the latest Duplicator had some weird bug so I found an older installation( duplicator.1.5.11.2) – but I am getting the same issue. Created zip file with that older version, and a new installer file with that older version but it is the same issue.almaLinux 9.5, php 8.3, plenty of resources.Any tip? Pretty sure it is something obviou - This topic was modified 1 year, 5 months ago by [sino27](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sino27/).

Can you please open the browser console and check if there are any errors? * I’m looking forward to hearing back from you. * Thanks! * Thread Starter [sino27](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sino27/) * (@sino27) * [1 year, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/validate-button-doesnt-work-anymore/#post-18235260) * Hi Mohammed. I think you are on to something. My console is full of errors. Like: Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 ()Here is a screenshot * [https://i.postimg.cc/9FfjGRMf/errors.jpg](https://i.postimg.cc/9FfjGRMf/errors.jpg) * Can you tell me what could cause that? Where to start? I tried with Edge, Firefox, Chrome, normal mode, private mode, same issue. Could it be on the server side? But why I mean just last week I ran this script at least a few times successfully. edit: this is from my logs on the server – this error appear exactly after I run your script : [core:alert] /myfoldershere/ Invalid command ‘php_value’, perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration * Note: I am using PHP-FPM – v 8.3.15 (not FastCGI) - This reply was modified 1 year, 5 months ago by [sino27](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sino27/). - This reply was modified 1 year, 5 months ago by [sino27](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sino27/). - This reply was modified 1 year, 5 months ago by [sino27](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sino27/). - This reply was modified 1 year, 5 months ago by [sino27](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sino27/). * Thread Starter [sino27](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sino27/) * (@sino27) * [1 year, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/validate-button-doesnt-work-anymore/#post-18235369) * Edit: found the error. It was my error. In Plesk (I am using Apache) under domain PHP settings, I somehow selected wrong value. * It needs to be “run PHP as: FPM application served by apache” but in my case it was “run PHP as: FPM application served by nginx”Sorry about that. It works super nice and super fast now. I remember few days ago I was doing something and I probably by mistake (mousewheel or something) changed this to nginx while it was always set to Apache.case closed. * Plugin Support [mohammedeisa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mohammedeisa/) * (@mohammedeisa) * [1 year, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/validate-button-doesnt-work-anymore/#post-18237329) * Hi [@sino27](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sino27/) , * Thanks for your feedback and for sharing the solution.
