After that, just uninstall Duplicator Pro and all the data related to Duplicator Pro should be removed. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Duplicator - Backups & Migration Plugin - Cloud Backups, Scheduled Backups, & More] This server’s database does not support the source site’s character set [utf8]](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/this-servers-database-does-not-support-the-source-sites-character-set-utf8/) * Plugin Support [devdavidam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devdavidam/) * (@devdavidam) * [2 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/this-servers-database-does-not-support-the-source-sites-character-set-utf8/#post-17035937) * Hi [@patrikhax](https://wordpress.org/support/users/patrikhax/) this is just a notice that on the source site where the backup was created the database has the character set utf8 which is not supported on the destination server so the default latin1 will be used instead. So, this is not an error, but a notice about what will happen during installation. In most cases, replacing the not supported character set with the default one results in a successful installation. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Duplicator - Backups & Migration Plugin - Cloud Backups, Scheduled Backups, & More] It remove all files after restore](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/it-remove-all-files-after-restore/) * Plugin Support [devdavidam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devdavidam/) * (@devdavidam) * [2 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/it-remove-all-files-after-restore/#post-16866069) * [@dehkadehwp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dehkadehwp/) what about the website, is it running after the installation?

Duplicator only removes the installer related files and leaves the extracted files. What is currently in the root folder? Is the website accessible?

I’m currently running Duplicator on PHP 8.2 without any issues. Yes, there are a couple deprecation warnings, but those are not causing any issues. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Duplicator - Backups & Migration Plugin - Cloud Backups, Scheduled Backups, & More] Duplicator pretty slow, makes ajax request per single file extraction](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/duplicator-pretty-slow-makes-ajax-request-per-single-file-extraction/) * Plugin Support [devdavidam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devdavidam/) * (@devdavidam) * [2 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/duplicator-pretty-slow-makes-ajax-request-per-single-file-extraction/#post-16857891) * Hi [@freakk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/freakk/), I tested the installer and couldn’t reproduce the above-mentioned. Unfortunately, the log you sent doesn’t show any relevant information about why the installer is so slow in this specific case. I guess this might be related to limited server resources. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Duplicator - Backups & Migration Plugin - Cloud Backups, Scheduled Backups, & More] Installer: archive validation keeps failing](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installer-archive-validation-keeps-failing/) * Plugin Support [devdavidam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devdavidam/) * (@devdavidam) * [2 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installer-archive-validation-keeps-failing/#post-16857869) * Hi [@d0m1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/d0m1/), if the archive name wasn’t renamed, I guess the package might be corrupted.

I tried a package build with wpforms-lite activated without any issues. The earlier mentioned errors are just deprecation warnings and shouldn’t cause any issues. * Note, I tested on a website with the exact same parameters as mentioned above: Duplicator Version1.5.5WP 6.2.2PHP 8.2.7 * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Duplicator - Backups & Migration Plugin - Cloud Backups, Scheduled Backups, & More] Package list after restore](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/package-list-after-restore/) * Plugin Support [devdavidam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devdavidam/) * (@devdavidam) * [3 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/package-list-after-restore/#post-16543722) * [@dariusju](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dariusju/) I don’t understand what you mean when you say that you “set restore point to it” and “Restore local backup via restore point link”. If you mean the recovery point, that functionality is actually only available at Duplicator Pro. Anyway, to restore a website one needs to run an installation of a package which is created on the same website on which it is getting installed. By doing so, after finishing the installation you should see all the packages on the Packages page except for the one which you restored and later packages. * I had no issues when trying this on our servers. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Duplicator - Backups & Migration Plugin - Cloud Backups, Scheduled Backups, & More] Procedures (Create & Alter) WARN Functions (Create & Alter) WARN](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/procedures-create-alter-warn-functions-create-alter-warn/) * Plugin Support [devdavidam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devdavidam/) * (@devdavidam) * [3 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/procedures-create-alter-warn-functions-create-alter-warn/#post-16542545) * Thanks, [@hommealone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hommealone/) we will take your comments in consideration. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Duplicator - Backups & Migration Plugin - Cloud Backups, Scheduled Backups, & More] Package list after restore](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/package-list-after-restore/) * Plugin Support [devdavidam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devdavidam/) * (@devdavidam) * [3 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/package-list-after-restore/#post-16534959) * Hi [@dariusju](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dariusju/), could you provide more information. * Did you try to restore your website from a package created on that same website? What settings did you chose during installation?Is the Packages page empty, but the backups-dup-lite folder still contains packages? * Please provide more information to better understand the issue. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Duplicator - Backups & Migration Plugin - Cloud Backups, Scheduled Backups, & More] Procedures (Create & Alter) WARN Functions (Create & Alter) WARN](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/procedures-create-alter-warn-functions-create-alter-warn/) * Plugin Support [devdavidam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devdavidam/) * (@devdavidam) * [3 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/procedures-create-alter-warn-functions-create-alter-warn/#post-16534873) * [@hommealone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hommealone/) you can find more information about stored procedures here (stored functions are similar to procedures): * [https://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_stored_procedures.asp](https://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_stored_procedures.asp) [https://www.techtarget.com/searchoracle/definition/stored-procedure](https://www.techtarget.com/searchoracle/definition/stored-procedure) * As you can see from the definition, those are statements which are stored in the database and can be reused by multiple programs. WordPress itself doesn’t use this functionality, and I’m not aware of any plugin using this as well. So, in most cases, migrating a website without those privileges runs fine. However, if you have created any procedures or functions yourself or use any plugins which do so, then you would need those privileges to fully migrate the database and create the functions and procedures automatically. * Regarding the question of why those privileges are not granted when “All Privileges” is selected, I think this is question should be answered by the hosting provider. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Duplicator - Backups & Migration Plugin - Cloud Backups, Scheduled Backups, & More] Error executing query DELETE FROM _duplicator_packages](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-executing-query-delete-from-_duplicator_packages/) * Plugin Support [devdavidam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devdavidam/) * (@devdavidam) * [3 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-executing-query-delete-from-_duplicator_packages/#post-16524082) * Hi [@hommealone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hommealone/), it would be better to create a new package without filtering that table. However, if you want to proceed with the one you already have you should be able to finish the installation by entering Advanced Mode and after Step 2 create the mentioned table manually after which continue with the installation. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Duplicator - Backups & Migration Plugin - Cloud Backups, Scheduled Backups, & More] Secure versus non-secure backups](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/secure-versus-non-secure-backups/) * Plugin Support [devdavidam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devdavidam/) * (@devdavidam) * [3 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/secure-versus-non-secure-backups/#post-16516755) * Hi [@jasminechristina](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jasminechristina/), I think I don’t understand you correctly. If your question is why we need the installer, simply said, it is giving the interface to install the archive. If you are asking about the secure file name option for the installer, this option adds additional security, so that people who shouldn’t access the installer can access it by appending /installer.php to your domain.
