[Plugin: Duplicator] Package not being created

You might be running into memory or timeout issues. You can increase our settings for both of these options in the options dialog.

I am having this same issue. It isn’t related to timeout nor memory.
same issue, stating zipsize is zero. unable to write to database

I was able to get it to work as well, but not till I could get it under 35mb. All images, plugin folder, and certain theme files needed to be transferred manually.

I am having the issue on another site where I noticed that this it was seeing another folder called “wp_snapshots” and even though I had it sent to ignore that folder, it was giving a runtime error. I had to temporarily delete the folder in order to have it create the file.

I like the trouble ticket support you offer, but I am wondering if a forum would be a good idea?

This plugin is wicked! To be able to have an installation set up, where I don’t have to set up standard theme options for every site I do is very valuable. I am surprised this isn’t already one of the top plugins for wordpress. This sort of plugin is very popular with other CMS options (Joomla, Drupal, Etc) it is about time WordPress had this option as well.

Hey badjesus,

Thxs for the feedback. With help and feedback from the community it will eventually get much better… I thought about a forum, just haven’t had the time to install one yet. I thought about just using Google groups maybe, not sure…

Know of any forums that don’t run ads on them that look good?

@lifeinthegrid SimplePress seems to work well with WP

I have been using Duplicator on a test site and moved it to a live domain ok. There are several plugins needing an update so I thought I’d use Duplicator for a backup.

But the package never gets created. It is 27.56kb in size.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Have since found the FAQ’s and it looks like it’s a server issue after all.

Hey TAC28,

Do you remember what kind of server issue it was? We might be able to help someone else out with the same problem…

Hi –

I used your plugin on one of my sites and it worked very well.

But, now when I install Duplicator to my other sites and activate it I have the same issue each time.

When I click “Create Package” it gives me the size (47.31 mb) – when I click “OK” the status bars move for about 3 seconds, the screen refreshes and nothing happens – no package is created.

Here is my Compatability info:

Key: Good [1] OK [0] Bad [-1]
SERVER CHECKS
PHP Version: 5.3.10 [1]
Web Server: Apache [1]
Safe Mode: Off [1]
Open Base Dir: Not Enabled [1]
Compression: Pass [1] (ZipArchive extension required for compression)

CACHE STORE CHECKS
W3 Total Cache: Cache Directory Not Found

Please exclude all cache store directories. This will help for a faster and cleaner install.

Am I doing something incorrectly?

thanks

Sorry to use the thread but could see lifeinthegrid

Hi gnfb,

The plugin hasn’t been tested to work with multi-site yet. However it is on the todo list.
