Not coping the users was the only feature missing from Pro, but manually adding after the clone wasn’t a problem. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[MultiSite Clone Duplicator] PHP NOTICE _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-notice-_load_textdomain_just_in_time-was-called-incorrectly-3/) * [Norm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/casualmagic/) * (@casualmagic) * [1 year, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-notice-_load_textdomain_just_in_time-was-called-incorrectly-3/#post-18457011) * Thanks. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[MultiSite Clone Duplicator] PHP NOTICE _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-notice-_load_textdomain_just_in_time-was-called-incorrectly-3/) * [Norm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/casualmagic/) * (@casualmagic) * [1 year, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-notice-_load_textdomain_just_in_time-was-called-incorrectly-3/#post-18456963) * Hi, I’m getting the following errors when duplicating. Could it be related to your fix above? I am just at the beginning of investigating this problem, and realize I probably need to start a new thread. * `WPDB ERROR: Cannot drop table 'wp_51_dlm_order' referenced by a foreign key constraint 'wp_51_fk_order_customer_order' on table 'wp_51_dlm_order_customer'.` * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Block-Editor (Gutenberg) not saving (nginx + letsencrypt + WordPress 5.0.1)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/block-editor-gutenberg-not-saving-nginx-letsencrypt-wordpress-5-0-1/) * [Norm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/casualmagic/) * (@casualmagic) * [7 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/block-editor-gutenberg-not-saving-nginx-letsencrypt-wordpress-5-0-1/#post-11459632) * I was having a similar issue.

Fixed with css but now my child stylesheet isn’t overriding the plugin css. Looks like it is just adding css inline to the head of the document. * Maybe the plugin author can add an option to set the background size of the image. * I think for now adding !important to background-size: cover; on body.custom-background is the best quick fix. - This reply was modified 9 years, 7 months ago by [Norm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/casualmagic/). * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [wp nav menu multiple uses on same page](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-nav-menu-multiple-uses-on-same-page/) * Thread Starter [Norm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/casualmagic/) * (@casualmagic) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-nav-menu-multiple-uses-on-same-page/#post-8474462) * Thanks for your response.

Just delete the wp-content folder in the new WordPress folder before dragging them in. * Forum: [Localhost Installs](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/localhost-installs/) In reply to: [Newbie needs some advice please](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/newbie-needs-some-advice-please/) * [Norm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/casualmagic/) * (@casualmagic) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/newbie-needs-some-advice-please/#post-3983328) * Hi Alex, You would setup wordpress locally much like you set it up on the server. * Here are the steps I usually take. I’m assuming you have MAMP setup and running properly. * **Database** – Start MAMP and go to phpMyAdmin. Create a new database for the site. Name it whatever you want. * **Install WordPress** – Create a folder in your local root directory for the site. Drag a fresh copy of WordPress into that folder. If you don’t know where the root directory folder is, open the MAMP control window and click Preferences > Apache and select the root folder you want to work in. * **WP-Config.php** – Rename the config sample file and point WordPress to your new database by updating these three lines. * ``` define('DB_NAME', 'database_name_here'); /** MySQL database username */ define('DB_USER', 'username_here'); /** MySQL database password */ define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password_here'); ``` * **Copy the Database** – Export your current database in .sql format (no compression) and import that file into your new database. * **Update wp-options** – Go into the database locally and update the url in the wp-options table. Should be option id 1 & 37. The url should be something like [http://localhost:8888/foldername](http://localhost:8888/foldername). * **wp-content** – Next you need to get the live wp-content folder. The uploads folder could be huge so if you are just doing some theme edits you might be able to get away with not downloading that directory. Otherwise download the folder and copy it into your local instillation. * **Find and Replace** – Now you should be able to login to the site locally. The last thing I do is run find and replace on the whole site to update all the urls from whatever the domain name is to the local url. That way all your paths will work locally. You will need to redo this when you upload. * Good luck! * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Help!

Copy your current page.php and rename it front-page.php. * Then edit your current page.php and remove the line of code that is inserting the slider. * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy#Front_Page_display](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy#Front_Page_display) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 35 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/casualmagic/replies/page/2/?output_format=md) [3](https://wordpress.org/support/users/casualmagic/replies/page/3/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/users/casualmagic/replies/page/2/?output_format=md)
