Yes, agreed. My original thought, when I read the ‘files’ section, was that I did need to include the WP-Content folder because I have specific support in my website that is written into the theme’s .php file. I wasn’t sure if I needed the other two ‘WP’ folders.
I was confused by the wording ‘Exclude Folders’ and that fact that the selected (checked) items are the items that get copied (included) in the clone.
What am I missing?
None-the-less, I have a Dev version of my site and i am hoping that you are able to release the feature that will ‘push to production’ as this would be a huge benefit to my users.
Thanks!
Additional follow on…
I deleted the original clone and tried again. I see what I did wrong. When setting up the Clone, the Files section… It lists Folders and says ‘Exclude Folders’. I removed the check in the WP-Content section thinking that I did want to include this section (and I did want to exclude the other two folders, WP-Admin and WP-Includes. I read it as selecting the checkbox would Exclude the folder from the Clone. I saw that my clone was missing the WP_Content section and I knew that couldn’t be right. Leaving all three of my WP folders selected was the correct way to leave them and have that content cloned.
Thank you.
OK – Some follow on to my original post…
The link: http://localhost:8888/1452699906127 originally presented upon clone completion does display a blank page, but after looking a bit more the link: http://localhost:8888/1452699906127/wp-admin displays a login page.
I logged in with my site’s credentials. I noticed that the top of the screen doesn’t indicate that it is a Clone site. I see my site’s normal name. Unfortunately, NONE of my original site’s plugins were cloned. The cloned site doesn’t display ANY content.
Hopefully, I did something wrong and I can work around this issue for now.
Thanks for any suggestions.
