   Hi guys!

   I'm in the process of re-building a WordPress website. I've taken a copy of the website, including tables, and "cloned" it on another server.

   I'm using an alternate URL, which features a sub-domain, and I did a search and replace on the .sql file replacing the actual domain name with mine.

   All appeared to be fine, but once I'm signed in, I can't access certain parts of WordPress, such as Plugins and Settings, nor can I update it.

   I've done this before and all went fine, but that was a few versions ago.

   Any ideas what I did wrong?

   When you do a search & replace on the sql export file, replaceing anything stored within serialized data can cause problems.

   It might be better to use the search & replace tool from interconnect/it:

   Thanks, I'll have a look and try again.

   Okay, I've tried this and after the search and replace, I'm experiencing the same problems. Any ideas?

   Hi, everything's fine now, thanks!

   The upload hadn't been a complete success, which is why some of the files weren't loading. I may have got the process right the first time around, but I'll never know.
