 * Hello,
 * The title says it all: when I want to create the staging site it just gets stuck
   on Processing and doesn’t move on, here is a screenshot:

 * First attempt to use WP Staging and am also stuck. First try: Cloning got stuck
   on step 3. Screenshot: [https://www.dropbox.com/s/ha1r1a10d81edhi/wpstagingfrozen.PNG?dl=0 ](https://www.dropbox.com/s/ha1r1a10d81edhi/wpstagingfrozen.PNG?dl=0)
 * Read that I should turn on the optimizer. Did so. Second try: Cloning went farther
   but got stuck here: [https://www.dropbox.com/s/55izk4okah3hn8b/wpstagingfrozenwithoptimizerOn.PNG?dl=0](https://www.dropbox.com/s/55izk4okah3hn8b/wpstagingfrozenwithoptimizerOn.PNG?dl=0)
   
   Please help. I am not willing to purchase your product until I see that it works.
   Thanks, Jane

 * Hello Jane,
 * [@janecarole](https://wordpress.org/support/users/janecarole/) Can you send me
   the system info log from wp staging > tools > system info to support [at] wp-
   staging.com
 * It’s also helpful if you enable the wordpress debug log, try it again and then
   send me the debug.log.
 * Please read this to learn how to activate the debug log:

 * FYI I am not a developer, just a WordPress user for about a year. Read somewhere
   to turn on developer tools and look at the console for errors. These are the 
   last few lines that show on the developer tools console before the cloning stops.
   The lines that begin with HTML are warnings. The line after starting cloning 
   process is an error. Again, thanks for any help you can give me.

 * I emailed the system info log to you.
 * Concerning using wordpress debug: I have never edited a php file. I am not sure
   about how to do so, and even if I can figure it out, I am nervous about doing
   this on my live site. I understood from the codex document that running wordpress
   debug on a live site was not recommended … The reason I am trying to set up a
   staging site is to avoid live site issues … Is there something else I can do 
   that is easier for a novice?
