Hi @freakency,

You can install the latest version of Duplicator Pro 4.5.14.2, then open Duplicator Pro > Settings and check the checkboxes for “Delete plugin settings” and “Delete entire storage directory” and save. After that, just uninstall Duplicator Pro and all the data related to Duplicator Pro should be removed.

Hi @patrikhax this is just a notice that on the source site where the backup was created the database has the character set utf8 which is not supported on the destination server so the default latin1 will be used instead. So, this is not an error, but a notice about what will happen during installation. In most cases, replacing the not supported character set with the default one results in a successful installation.

@dehkadehwp what about the website, is it running after the installation? Have you tried to access the WordPress admin by entering the login address manually?

Hi @freakk, you can try to open the installer in Advanced Mode and select the option Debugging under Options > General > Logging, maybe this way there will be some hint in the log.

Hi @dehkadehwp, what do you mean with “all files”? Duplicator only removes the installer related files and leaves the extracted files. What is currently in the root folder? Is the website accessible? Have you tried to navigate to the login screen manually?

Hi @beg65, thanks for the feedback. I’m currently running Duplicator on PHP 8.2 without any issues. Yes, there are a couple deprecation warnings, but those are not causing any issues.

Hi @freakk, I tested the installer and couldn’t reproduce the above-mentioned. Unfortunately, the log you sent doesn’t show any relevant information about why the installer is so slow in this specific case. I guess this might be related to limited server resources.

Hi @d0m1, if the archive name wasn’t renamed, I guess the package might be corrupted. Please try to create another package and run the installation.

Hi @vinkmalaysia, it’s odd that wpforms-lite is causing issues with the package build. I tried a package build with wpforms-lite activated without any issues. The earlier mentioned errors are just deprecation warnings and shouldn’t cause any issues.

Note, I tested on a website with the exact same parameters as mentioned above:
Duplicator Version1.5.5
WP 6.2.2
PHP 8.2.7

@dariusju I don’t understand what you mean when you say that you “set restore point to it” and “Restore local backup via restore point link”. If you mean the recovery point, that functionality is actually only available at Duplicator Pro. Anyway, to restore a website one needs to run an installation of a package which is created on the same website on which it is getting installed. By doing so, after finishing the installation you should see all the packages on the Packages page except for the one which you restored and later packages.

I had no issues when trying this on our servers.

Thanks, @hommealone we will take your comments in consideration.

Hi @dariusju, could you provide more information.

Did you try to restore your website from a package created on that same website?
What settings did you chose during installation?
Is the Packages page empty, but the backups-dup-lite folder still contains packages?

Please provide more information to better understand the issue.

@hommealone you can find more information about stored procedures here (stored functions are similar to procedures):

https://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_stored_procedures.asp
https://www.techtarget.com/searchoracle/definition/stored-procedure

As you can see from the definition, those are statements which are stored in the database and can be reused by multiple programs. WordPress itself doesn’t use this functionality, and I’m not aware of any plugin using this as well. So, in most cases, migrating a website without those privileges runs fine. However, if you have created any procedures or functions yourself or use any plugins which do so, then you would need those privileges to fully migrate the database and create the functions and procedures automatically.

Regarding the question of why those privileges are not granted when “All Privileges” is selected, I think this is question should be answered by the hosting provider.

Hi @hommealone, it would be better to create a new package without filtering that table. However, if you want to proceed with the one you already have you should be able to finish the installation by entering Advanced Mode and after Step 2 create the mentioned table manually after which continue with the installation.

Hi @jasminechristina, I think I don’t understand you correctly. If your question is why we need the installer, simply said, it is giving the interface to install the archive. If you are asking about the secure file name option for the installer, this option adds additional security, so that people who shouldn’t access the installer can access it by appending /installer.php to your domain.
