I just installed this plugin and tried three different backup destinations and getting the above error. Is this plugin broken? How do I use this? Have tried multiple times with different options.
Thanks for your reply and good to know softaculous backup and restore worked. I’ll use it from now on. Scheduling is a great option to manually backing up. Sometimes I seem to forget manually backing up.
Nevermind, thanks for creating this plugin and helping so many, for free. My mistake, I should’ve noted before trying all this, that the current version isn’t compatible with my versions of WP.
Have marked this plugin as a favorite anyway, and will wait for the next version. Hopefully, it will be released soon.

I tried a few more attempts and what I did this time was – I deleted the old site completely (which was updated to WP version 3.7.1) and then restored the old WP version of the site to 3.6.1. The old site still worked fine as before.
Now, I repackaged using duplicator, thinking that this older version might work. But it didn’t. I tried several times.
A third set of trying, I cleaned the database tables using WP-Optimize and then repackaged again using duplicator and then tried the installer.php at the new domain. For both of the above set of tries, I don’t get any error on the admin panel when trying to login. I get the login panel again. Doesn’t log in any user.
So, I think I’m better off, doing the manual method of search and replace in the database. Wasted a lot of my time, sorry.
Thanks for your reply, lifeinthegrid!
I deleted everything from the site and installed a fresh copy of WP 3.7.1 using the Quickinstall software installer that’s on my HostGator cpanel (both my sites/domains are on the same server and same webhost at HostGator). I can login without any problems into the admin panel. But, deleting this install and again using the install.php and the archive from duplicator, I still get the cookie error and unable to login using any user/admin.
Everything on the old site change anything in wp-config.php.
I read thru the other thread you mentioned and had read similar threads as I said in my original post. But, I didn’t have this issue doing a fresh install of 3.7.1.
I spoke to a tech support guy at HostGator and he tried some stuff and then concluded that duplicator may not be compatible with this version of WP. I did see the duplicator plugin page mention that it’s compatible up to WP version 3.5.2 only.
Anyway, if the only solutions seems to be to manually move the site and then doing the redirects, I’ll try to go this way.

In reply to: Addon Domains on WP don't workYes, I have the database backup as well. I have restored the database into mysql too, and changed the wp-config.php accordingly too. But WP won’t connect to it.
