We have installed several wordpress sites in Windows Server 2021 R2 it used to worked fine but from some months back we have been experienced some issues, they suddenly stope working whether is the front end or the wp-admin or even both.

what we have been doing when this happen is to restore a backup but this doesn’t usually worked and we have to tried with several backups until it does and so we loose some of the resent información we have posted.

Some things we have been notices are:

1. That the backups from one moment to the next begin to progressively reduce their size over time, for example: at one point they are 20MB, then 18MB then 16MB to the point that the copy is below 1MB and this occurs because the base data has been degraded and mysql cannot execute the copy

2. We have several wordpress databases, the largest one can weigh 2.5 GB the smallest 10 MB and all have failed at some point.

3. Our backup policy for MariaDB databases is daily every 30 minutes.

4. On the same MariaDB database server there are other databases from other platforms which have never been degraded nor have the site been taken out of use; we have databases of Joomla, Vtiger, Helpdesk Mantis, etc.

We would really appreciate your help and any guidance you can give us.

1. Run a website with differing URL’s without auto forwarding in order to satisfy our customer requirements.
2. Transfer from the temporary url to a permanent url without the need to do extensive corrections to hard coded links
3. Achieve this on an IIS server.

This plugin appears to have no support for IIS

Is there a solution to this?

I’ve just successfully exported my website and downloaded from the generated URL.

Once I’m uploading the .wpress to my other virgin website, it goes to 100% and nothing happens.

Any idea ?

Many thanks,
Arthur

First of all, this plugin is without a doubt one of the greatest in the wordpress community. Well done.

For the first time I am moving a woocommerce site to a self hosted server using IIS. I can see in the documentation that Duplicator does not work with IIS-servers, but I can still find some manuals that describe how to use duplicator to do that.

Is it possible to use Duplicator in this process with the new versions, or do I have to do the transfer manually?

Looking forward to your answer.

I am new to shibboleth. Can anyone please tell me the steps to configuring the shibboleth for IIS server. I have installed shibboleth service provider and its working fine.

The WP_CACHE constant is used by WordPress to load the code that serves cached pages. Unfortunately it is set to false. Please edit your wp-config.php and add or edit the following line above the final require_once command:

define(‘WP_CACHE’, true);

But when I add this code to wp-config.php file, my dashboard become blank. I need this plugin to work in my website. I have used this plugin in some other websites. It works good.

Please help me out to solve this issue.

Thanks in advance
