 * Gentelmen,
    1st and formost thank you. I have been using duplicator for a while
   now and it’s a life saver.
 * Now for the challenge.:
    I upgraded plugin, ran from a test/dev site loaded on
   original domain (subdomain) now I am unable to login. wp-admin I have tried every
   phpmyadmin trick, htaccess, wp-config hack, clear cookies etc I can find. just
   downright stuck.
 * I see you have a post [resolved] regarding what appears to be this issue.
 * Could really use your help on this one.
 * cheers
    Sean

 * Nothing?
 * Does anyone know how to fix this?
    I tried yet again, re-running the installer
   php. everything works fine until I try to login via the wp-admin then it just
   loops.

 * Hi,
    I’ve experienced same problem as you. That was because I entered website“
   www” version at duplicator final step.
 * The solution for the problem is re-creating wp-config.php file. So, login to 
   your ftp, find and delete wp-config.php. And then, got to your website you’ll
   wordpress install wizard page (don’t worry your data is safe). Just follow the
   wizard like you are installing fresh wordpress.
 * After set up, you’ll be able to login without any error.
