Title: duplicate database entry errors Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # duplicate database entry errors * Resolved [rstoeber](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rstoeber/) * (@rstoeber) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/duplicate-database-entry-errors/) * I seem to be having the same problem that other people have already reported. The Duplicator 0.5.2 plugin worked great and really saved me a lot of time over the past few weeks. But today I tried to move a site to a new server and I get hundreds of database errors, all like the following: * **ERROR** database error write ‘Duplicate entry ” for key ‘option_name” – [sql =INSERT INTO `wp_options` VALUES(“”, “”, “”, “”)…] * We are running WordPress 3.9, but I honestly can’t say whether this is the first time we tried using Duplicator on 3.9. * There was a suggestion to download the developer 0.5.3 version, but I can’t find that anywhere. * Can someone confirm that 0.5.3 will fix this problem, and provide a link to download that version? * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/) Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * Thread Starter [rstoeber](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rstoeber/) * (@rstoeber) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/duplicate-database-entry-errors/#post-4890684) * Responding to my own question. * I figured out where to get the 0.5.3 development version code. It took me a while to realize that the readme.txt file still says 0.5.2, but the actual code duplicator. php has a version 0.5.3 near the top. * So I installed the 0.5.3 version and created a new archive and that installed perfectly. Only tested for a few minutes now, but this immediate problem appears to be solved. * [Cory Lamle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/corylamleorg/) * (@corylamleorg) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/duplicate-database-entry-errors/#post-4890760) * Thanks for the update! * [aehageman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aehageman/) * (@aehageman) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/duplicate-database-entry-errors/#post-4890802) * Could you post the link to the location of 0.5.3 so we can stop searching for it?

Found the developers version . Did not fix my issue, but it was a good try. I will return after I have done my due diligence to find a solution on my own. * [Cory Lamle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/corylamleorg/) * (@corylamleorg) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/duplicate-database-entry-errors/#post-4890864) * Hey [@aehageman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aehageman/), * That is odd… You might also try the mysqldump option from the settings panel as well. If you know how to code the source is on [GitHub](https://github.com/lifeinthegrid/duplicator) now as well, sometimes it can be a minor tweek per your environment, its tough to tell with so many different permutations… * If your looking for a commercial setup you might try BackupBuddy… * Cheers~ Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) The topic ‘duplicate database entry errors’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/duplicator/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=2906985) * [Duplicator - Backups & Migration Plugin - Cloud Backups, Scheduled Backups, & More](https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/duplicator/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/duplicator/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/duplicator/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/duplicator/reviews/) ## Tags * [database](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/database/) * 10 replies * 4 participants * Last reply from: [Cory Lamle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/corylamleorg/) * Last activity: [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/duplicate-database-entry-errors/#post-4890864) * Status: resolved
