I have since found that whenever I work online, Duplicator works with no problem. The problem only occurs when I am working on localhost, so it seems to be to do with my PC. I have reinstalled XAMPP so all my PHP settings are back at default, but the problem persists.
The error in more detail: What happens is that when Duplicator finishes building the package, if I immediately click on each of the two blue buttons for installer.php and the zip file, I can download them and they work fine. If I don’t click on them at that point but instead click on “All packages” then in the “Package” column I get “View error details…” and a file size of 0B. In the snapshots directory the zip file and installer.php have actually been created and work, so it’s less of a problem than I thought – seems to be just that they are not listed properly at admin.php?page=duplicator rather than a problem with the actual workings of the plugin.
Tried that and it’s exactly the same. Very odd – I’ve used duplicator with no problems before and rely on it for efficient site transfers.
I suspect it’s something to do with my site but quite what eludes me.
I’ve checked the database, cleaned out some rubbish from it (unused woocommerce tables and some other old stuff), and can see no problems there. I have tried deleting all plugins, custom functions.php, and most recently my child theme directory … still the same.
Hope you can help – I’d hate to have to do it manually!
I have been using Duplicator without problem for years to move WP sites online from localhost and as a way of doing local backups.
Now on a new site I am building locally when I run Duplicator I get the message “This package has encountered errors. Click ‘View Log’ for more details. For additional support see the online knowledgebase”. This has happened repeatedly over several days.
It completes the scan successfully with “Good” for each item and the log file contains no obvious problems. I have tried deleting all plugins except Duplicator and removing my custom functions.php – same happens.
Any ideas?
