Localhost Xampp php 7.4.x, WP 5.8.2, Windows 7 Pro, Chrome…

The tables are being created and the rows (records) are getting transferred too, but the url of the new site is not changing, thus it is not working.

I manually changed the siteurl and home values to point to the correct path in the Options table, and I also manually changed the database name in the wp-config.php file, at no avail.

The error code I’m getting is:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function bind_param() on bool in C:\xampp74\htdocs\software2\wp-content\plugins\clone-test-db\clone-test-db.php:194 Stack trace: #0 C:\xampp74\htdocs\software2\wp-includes\class-wp-hook.php(303): clone_test_db->clone_test_db_front_page('') #1 C:\xampp74\htdocs\software2\wp-includes\class-wp-hook.php(327): WP_Hook->apply_filters('', Array) #2 C:\xampp74\htdocs\software2\wp-includes\plugin.php(470): WP_Hook->do_action(Array) #3 C:\xampp74\htdocs\software2\wp-admin\admin.php(259): do_action('tools_page_clon...') #4 C:\xampp74\htdocs\software2\wp-admin\tools.php(40): require_once('C:\\xampp74\\htdo...') #5 {main} thrown in C:\xampp74\htdocs\software2\wp-content\plugins\clone-test-db\clone-test-db.php on line 194
