Another update:

When doing the change above, then the actual post content is not shwon in the post page anymore…instead just the excerpt.

So is there a way to show the excerpt in the categories and the post content in the post pages? Or can the theme not handle this?

Thanks,
Peter

oops. I was looking for the wrong string – it of course is “the_content”.

I did find it and was able to edit it – but unfortunately the images are then now shown anymore…neither on the categories not in the posts. In content. php, line 45 I replaced

<?php the_content(‘Continue reading’); ?>

with

<?php the_excerpt(‘Continue reading’); ?>

Tahanks a lot,
Peter

An update:

[I removed the wp better security plugin AND w3 total cache plugin from the site which I want to duplicate]

So the problem on the new site is the following:

>> When removing htaccess from the new (duplicated) site, I can then at least access the wordpress backend (I get 404s on all other pages but the homepage from the site)

>> As soon as a new htaccess it automatically generated by wordpress I get 403s again.

This is the htraccess content (for post name permalinks):

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

>> When changing permalinks under Changed Settings -> Permalinks from Post Name option to Default option – I can then access all sites on website

>> As soon as changing permalinks back to post name – which triggers a new htaccess, I get 403s again.

So for some reason I cannot get it functioning with a htaccess.

Any suggestions how I can get this working?

Thanks a lot,
Peter

Thanks for the super quick response! I will give it a shot and also post a thread for the folks from the better wp security.

Have a great day,
Peter

^^same when deactivating all plugins except for the duplicator plugin….I do have an older duplicator package from the website prior to installing the better wp security plugin. Here site duplication works just fine. I assume the plugin must be changing some setting/files which the duplicator plugin then seems to be having problems with. I do get all “successfull” duplication messages…but then when trying to open the site, all I get are 403s…

Thanks a lot,
Peter

Hi lifeinthegrid,

thanks a lot for the advise and for the duplicator plugin (a real life-saver!) – unfortunately it did not help so far. Any other suggestions what else has to get deactivated? I tried deactivating the entire better wp security plugin and then duplicating the site – but I solely get 403s forbidden on the new site…

Thanks a lot for your help,
Peter

Great! Thanks a lot for the help and support, I really appreciate it!
Peter

Hey lifeinthegrid,

thanks a lot for your answer!

When importing and then exporting the duplicator saved database in phpmyadmin – the database is brought into the regular phpmyadmin layout/structure automatically afterall.

The problem is the follwing: As you assumed, the theme settings were not restored. I was assured that they are saved in the database…but for some reason they are not restored (also not when using duplicator with the installer file and transfering the site to another domain).

I have contacted theme support to see if I can get the settings back somehow.

Thanks a lot!
Peter

Hey Mark,

yep – exactly what I was looking for. So unfortunately no easy “1 click update” solution from development to production. But I think I can live with it ??

Thanks again for your comment, it REALLY helped me out a lot!

Have a great weekend,
Peter

Hi lifeinthegrid,

thanks a lot for the answer! I will most certainly take a close look at hat!

Thanks again,
