installing to Ipage using the duplicator

Why not just copy the site manually? Usually takes me about 5 minutes to do so 🙂

Dev Site:
– export database
– ZIP up the contents of the WP install folder

Client Site:
– create new, empty db and import the exported dev .sql file
– edit the siteurl and home fields in the wp_options table with the client url
– upload and extract the ZIP where it belongs
– edit the client wp-config.php with the client db credentials
– upload, run this script to update the links to the client url, then delete it when done:

Allen, I’m having the same issue with iPage & Duplicator! After creating a sub folder, the folder name became a permanent part of my url. Worse, the url doesn’t work without the folder name tacked on:

http://erinholmberg.com/portfolio/

I named the sub folder “portfolio” so that it doesn’t look like a glaring mistake. 😉 Sadly, erinholmberg.com doesn’t work alone, and redirects don’t work.

Did this happen to you? Do you have suggestions? Any info you have would be very appreciated! 🙂
