Title: Restore Issues Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Restore Issues * Resolved [Trukn4fun](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trukn4fun/) * (@trukn4fun) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/restore-issues/) * I installed 13 new WordPress sites this morning, GoDaddy Servers, I have WP Clone on all my older sites, I was able to move 5 of them succesfully, but now I’m getting that dreaded “Internal Server” Error? I tried to restore from the“ root” but the same issue – I hope you may have another idea?? * Thanks – Tom * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-clone-by-wp-academy/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-clone-by-wp-academy/) Viewing 13 replies - 1 through 13 (of 13 total) * [wpacademy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpacademy/) * (@wpacademy) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/restore-issues/#post-3737548) * Please provide additional information on the the size of your backup. * Is there any difference that you can tell us about the sites that are successfully restored and those that are not? * Unfortunately due to the variety of hosting platforms we are not able to support this plugin on all hosts and/or for backups larger than 100mb. However we appreciate any information that you give us as it will help improve the software * Best regards, WP Academy Support [http://wpacademy.com](http://wpacademy.com) * Thread Starter [Trukn4fun](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trukn4fun/) * (@trukn4fun) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/restore-issues/#post-3737552) * Good Morning, The size of the backups are all the same about 40mg,very small sites, they are all hosted on Virtual servers with GoDaddy. I have one site that is a master and I use that site to clone all the others – All current WordPress and WeaverPro Themes. The one annoying issue that seems to remain constant through out is whether I do a backup or a restore I get a “can not find page” error and I have to go back to the site and do a Ctrl F5 to refresh be fore I can see the result? Thanks for your help, I love the plug-in when it works 😉 Thanks Tom * Thread Starter [Trukn4fun](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trukn4fun/) * (@trukn4fun) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/restore-issues/#post-3737635) * Heres an error message that I’m getting ? “Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/content/56/9935056/html/Rbinder/wp-content/plugins/wp- clone-by-wp-academy/lib/view.php on line 196” Thanks * [timoto](https://wordpress.org/support/users/timoto/) * (@timoto) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/restore-issues/#post-3737643) * I also received an error message when trying to restore into the new site. The error message was as follows:- * The plugin encountered an error while downloading the zip file,the following error message was returned: * Error Message : Internal Server Error * Temporary files created xxxxxxxxx/wp-content/wpclone-temp will be deleted. * Any ideas on how to overcome this ? * Thanks, Tim * Thread Starter [Trukn4fun](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trukn4fun/) * (@trukn4fun) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/restore-issues/#post-3737666) * I solved the issue that I was having by following many suggestions posted here– First, clone the site – then goto the FTP client and download that file ion a folder. * Second, goto the new site and FTP that cloned/backed up file to the wp-clone folder – then in the new wordpress site, cvlone app type in the new restore address, [http://www.something.com//newsite/wp-content/uploads/wp-clone/zipfile](http://www.something.com//newsite/wp-content/uploads/wp-clone/zipfile) name. * Thats it for me, just ran it and it works – Good Luck All * Thread Starter [Trukn4fun](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trukn4fun/) * (@trukn4fun) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/restore-issues/#post-3737667) * I solved the issue that I was having by following many suggestions posted here– First, clone the site – then goto the FTP client and download that file ion a folder. * Second, goto the new site and FTP that cloned/backed up file to the wp-clone folder – then in the new wordpress site, clone app, type in the new restore address, [http://www.something.com//newsite/wp-content/uploads/wp-clone/zipfile](http://www.something.com//newsite/wp-content/uploads/wp-clone/zipfile) name. * Thats it for me, just ran it and it works – Good Luck All * [betholsoncreative](https://wordpress.org/support/users/betholsoncreative/) * (@betholsoncreative) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/restore-issues/#post-3737704) * Thanks Trukn4fun! That worked for me too! * I was getting an error when trying to export with WP Clone on the source site. When I clicked the back button it showed that a .zip file (or sometimes TWO) had actually been made. * Then I tried to import this .zip file in the new website with the WP Clone plugin and was getting the “internal Error” message. * I used Filezilla FTP client to log into the source website and download the WP Clone .zip backup file that was created. I then logged into my new website with the FTP client and manual placed that .zip file into the UPLOADS/WP-CLONE folder. * Then I put in the location of the .zip file from the new website’s installation and clicked upload. It installed everything! * Be aware that it creates an exact copy of your source site with all the same settings. I had to log back in and set up the new template and everything again. But works! Wish I would have known this trick when I had a really tough time a few weeks ago with a different client! * [TimBoDev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/timbodev/) * (@timbodev) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/restore-issues/#post-3737730) * worked for me also…thanks…ive been struggling with this for a few days * [webdevelopment](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webdevelopment/) * (@webdevelopment) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/restore-issues/#post-3737756) * I have my WordPress sites hosted at [http://hostbandit.com](http://hostbandit.com) and I have SAFE MODE set to off. OPEN BASE DIR restriction is set to on. * I installed via Installatron, then installed WP Clone manually. * I get perhaps, 100 of these errrors when I try to backup my site: * Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /usr/home/username/domains/ domainname.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-clone-by-wp-academy/lib/functions. php on line 436 * Then it says: * Backup Successful! * Here is your backup file : /home/username/domains/domain name.com/public_html/ wp-content/uploads/wp-clone/wpclone_backup_27th_Aug_2013_07-12PM_Web_bIcpSiMgjP. zip ( 36.61 MB ) | Copy URL * (Copy that link and paste it into the “Restore URL” of your new WordPress installation to clone this site) * But the file can not be found when I click on it? * Any fix? * [Tom Murphy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tfmurphhk/) * (@tfmurphhk) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/restore-issues/#post-3737759) * I had that same problem “**[webdevelopment](http://wordpress.org/support/profile/webdevelopment)**_” but later found out that I had run out of disk space on the server. Once I increased the space, then this App was able to save the file._ * The message that it had been saved is erroneous as it never really saved.. it tried, but due to the lack of space, it failed. * Tom * [spraystone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spraystone/) * (@spraystone) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/restore-issues/#post-3737783) * Is there a way to download the backup zip from the original server without the FTP access? Can I just put the URL in the browser URL bar and press enter? * [wpacademy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpacademy/) * (@wpacademy) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/restore-issues/#post-3737784) * yeah that should work * [emilycapito](https://wordpress.org/support/users/emilycapito/) * (@emilycapito) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/restore-issues/#post-3737785) * betholsoncreative – Thanks for spelling out how you accomplished the work around! Worked like a charm for me as well. Most helpful plugin I’ve used, I was SO stressed about needing to clone a WP site. Thanks WP Academy!
