Duplicate Pages and Content?

    I need to duplicate a wordpress site from one server to another and I downloaded the duplicator plugin for this purpose. However the problem is that duplicator only duplicated the theme as well as plugins onto the new server but not the pages and images. Although my zip file was 400 mb, no pages or images or videos shows up in the duplicated site.

    Can someone tell me or help me with getting my posts and pages back?

    Thanks

    Do you still have access to the old site? If so, log in, go to Tools > Export and click “Download Export File.”

    This will give you an XML file with all pages and posts that you can then go to your new WordPress install, navigate to Tools > Import (requires the WordPress Importer plugin – http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-importer/) and import the file you just downloaded.

    What about the images and videos linked to those pages and posts? How can I export them as well?

    Thanks

    Btw, when I imported the xml file I got two errors:

    Warning: set_time_limit() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/www/f36e776209f107e2b6500630f0163511/web/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-importer/wordpress-importer.php on line 91

    And I wasn’t able to import the file at all 🙁

    After selecting, it should ask you if you want to import the post attachments – make sure to click yes. If any don’t come through and you don’t have FTP access, you may have to add them manually.

    As for the error, that seems like an issue with your host; I suggest you reach out to them to find out what’s going on.

    I’m still getting the errors even when I’ve disabled memory limits from my hosts configuration settings. Could you please tell me how do I do it manually?

    Thanks

    Hi jcyin,

    I don’t believe it’s a memory problem – set_time_limit() is also a security restriction that your host can put in place.

    Based on other posts (http://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-set_time_limit-has-been-disabled-for-security-reasons, http://forums.oscommerce.com/topic/216977-warning-set-time-limit-has-been-disabled-for-security-reasons/), it seems like you need to ask your host to enable it.
