0.5.12 Can't Exclude Directories | File Filters Not Working For Me

    Love Duplicator and use it on so many sites for so long now.

    One site is giving me trouble in that I can’t exclude using File Filter.

    I tried using Tools > Delete Legacy Data in case there was something causing issue and that didn’t work.

    I also tried Tools > Clear Build Cache… no help.

    I then set the settings to delete everything and removed the plugin and tried a fresh download and install of it.

    That didn’t work either.

    I get no errors at all for the Server side of things so I am stumped as to how to trouble shoot this further and thought to ask for help.

    Thanks

  • What does your exclude path look like? Does it have any special characters in it like “.”?

    Yes it does actually.

    I just realised something when I investigated that.

    When I hit the button for default excludes in Duplicator it supplies the path automatically but the dot in a dotcom (for example) is actually a symbol of “.” (looks the same but clearly isn’t a normal period).

    I just discovered that if I got an over type that autogenrated dot with a real period . then it works great.

    I’d assume from this that you are autogenerating the period as a character code in your back end somewhere and it is probably the wrong character code by accident.

    Cheers

    I have just checked this on both sites that I was having issue with and the method employed here of over-writing the . with a manual keyboarded . after hitting the default link for wp-uploads is working great for me.

    I suppose this is issue is resolved for me at least : )

    Thanks for the update Aquapan!
