There are also some other items for blank pages…
Hope that helps!
I have a similar issue – I’m on MAC but using Mozilla not Safari so it should see the .zip file ok.
Just wondering if you found a fix?
Strangely my site’s frontend actually works and displays ok after deploying, but same as the original poster, my FTP folders for /wp-content/ /wp-admin/ etc. are completely missing!
PS. Just to clarify – I can actually login to wp-admin via the browser fine, but when I look go into FTP, this folder and other wordpress folders do not display/exist there!
Did you check the package.zip to see if “wp-content” and “wp-admin” where in the package archive? If they are then you may have paths that are too long. When creating the package in step 2 of the scanner it will warn of paths that are too long.
Hi Cory, first- I love your tutorials and duplicator! I used it before to start working on my site locally using xxamp. However I have now the same problem as above. I don´t get any error messages, however once I´m done (I´m trying to copy my webpage onto my localhost) I can´t login and I get 404 errors saying that there is no such url on the server. I checked and I do not have the wp admin and wp content in the zip-
all that´s there is this:

however the scanner in step 2 said everything is ok (no warnings). Any advice? Thanks in advance,
