Plugins Not Activated

Hey @jasond5,

I’m not 100% sure how the authors for that theme store data, I would double check with them after the process is ran and have them look at how the theme settings were saved before and after. If they find that the values are not updating or are not correct have them contact me with what didn’t get set or not set correctly and I’ll evaluate that data chain.

Thanks~

Thanks for the response. I will see if they can provide that detail regarding theme settings.

Why wouldn’t the other plugins be automatically active?

Hey @jasond5,

I’m not 100% sure to be honest. That select box your talking about is created by a value in the wp_options table. The only thing I can think of is that the option value wasn’t setup/queried/created correctly or something is not accurate with the data in that value. No-one has ever really reported that as an issue…

Well, interestingly enough. Tried it today and the plugins now show up!

Bad news is there were several database write errors and getting blank screen result from import but I think they are limited to custom “Views” I created on the live site that I don’t really need on the localhost.

Do I need to set Permalinks back to “Defualt” before Duplicating? I also tried disabling the “mysqldump” setting and that produced a worse result.

Are there other Advanced Options I should try?

…and other like this one….

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘unique = “<a href=\”https://localhost/inserts_local/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/18&#8217; at line 1

Those look like possible database users settings. You may try and make sure your database is setup correctly permission wise. If your not sure how to do that then you may need to enlist the help of the server administrator for that system…

The user specified as a definer (‘mcsinsertsdb’@’%’) does not exist’

Didn’t think this would work or matter, but I deactivated some minor plugins to see if that would make a difference and sure enough, that was the issue. After the duplication, I re-enabled the plugins and all seems well!

Thanks for the help.

One thing that didn’t seem to properly transfer was the images. They look to be there but are not showing up. Just shows the placeholder for an image.

Any idea what that is about?
