If your URL has little to no traffic or has never been the target of an attack then running the installer without a password is going to be relatively safe if ran quickly. However, a password is always a good idea. Also, it is absolutely required and recommended to remove <u>all</u> installer files after installation is completed by logging into the WordPress admin and following the Duplicator prompts. </td> </tr> </table> <br/> Note: Even though the installer has a password protection feature, it should only be used for the short term while the installer is being used. All installer files should and must be removed after the install is completed.

Below is an overview of each area: <br/><br/> <h3>Archive</h3> This is the archive file the installer must use in order to extract the web site files and database. The 'Name' is a unique key that ties both the archive and installer together. The installer needs the archive file name to match the 'Name' value exactly character for character in order for this section to get a pass status. <br/><br/> If the archive name is ever changed then it should be renamed back to the 'Name' value in order for the installer to properly identify it as part of a complete package. Additional information such as the archive size and the package notes are mentioned in this section. <br/><br/> <h3>Validation</h3> This section shows the installers system requirements and notices. All requirements must pass in order to proceed to Step 2. Each requirement will show a <b class="dupx-pass">Pass</b>/<b class="dupx-fail">Fail</b> status. Notices on the other hand are <u>not</u> required in order to continue with the install. <br/><br/> Notices are simply checks that will help you identify any possible issues that might occur. If this section shows a <b class="dupx-pass">Good</b>/<b class="dupx-fail">Warn</b> for various checks. Click on the title link and read the overview for how to solve the test. <br/><br/> <h3>Multisite <sup>pro</sup></h3> The multisite option allows users with a Pro Business or Gold license to perform additional multi-site tasks. All licenses can backup & migrate standalone sites and full multisite networks. Multisite Plus+ (business and above) adds the ability to install a subsite as a standalone site. <br/><br/> <h3>Options</h3> The options for step 1 can help better prepare your site should your server need additional settings beyond most general configuration. <table class="help-opt"> <tr> <th class="col-opt">Option</th> <th>Details</th> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" class="section">General Options</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="col-opt">Extraction</td> <td> <b>Manual Archive Extraction</b><br/> Set the Extraction value to "Manual Archive Extraction" when the archive file has already been manually extracted on the server. This can be done through your hosts control panel such as cPanel or by your host directly. This setting can be helpful if you have a large archive files or are having issues with the installer extracting the file due to timeout issues. <br/><br/> <b>PHP ZipArchive</b><br/> This extraction method will use the PHP <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/book.zip.php" target="_blank">ZipArchive</a> code to extract the archive zip file. <br/><br/> <b>Shell-Exec Unzip</b><br/> This extraction method will use the PHP <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/function.shell-exec.php" target="_blank">shell_exec</a> to call the system unzip command on the server. This is the default mode that is used if its avail on the server. <br/><br/> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="col-opt">Permissions</td> <td> <b>All Files:</b> Check the 'All Files' check-box and enter in the desired <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/function.chmod.php" target="_blank">chmod command</a> to recursively set the octal value on all the files being extracted. Typically this value is 644 on most servers and hosts. <br/><br/> <b>All Directories:</b> Check the 'All Directories' check-box and enter in the desired <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/function.chmod.php" target="_blank">chmod command</a> to recursively set octal value on all the directories being extracted. Typically this value is 755 on most servers and hosts. <br/><br/> <i>Note: These settings only apply to Linux operating systems</i> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" class="section">Advanced Options</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="col-opt">Safe Mode</td> <td> Safe mode is designed to configure the site with specific options at install time to help over come issues that may happen during the install were the site is having issues. These options should only be used if you run into issues after you have tried to run an install. <br/><br/> <b>Basic:</b> This safe mode option will disable all the plugins at install time. When this option is set you will need to re-enable all plugins after the install has full ran. <br/><br/> <b>Advanced:</b> This option applies all settings used in basic and will also de-activate and reactivate your theme when logging in for the first time. This options should be used only if the Basic option did not work. </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="col-opt">Config Files </td> <td> When dealing with configuration files (.htaccess, web.config and .user.ini) the installer can apply different modes: <br/><br/> <b>Create New:</b> This is the default recommended option which will create either a new .htaccess or web.config file. The new file is streamlined to help guarantee no conflicts are created during install. The config files generated with this mode will be simple and basic. The Wordfence .user.ini file if present will be removed. <br/><br/> <b>Restore Original:</b> This option simply renames the .htaccess__[HASH] or web.config.orig files to .htaccess or web.config. The *.orig files come from the original web server where the package was built. Please note this option will cause issues with the install process if the configuration files are not properly setup to handle the new server environment. This is an advanced option and should only be used if you know how to properly configure your web servers configuration. <br/><br/> <b>Ignore All:</b> This option simply does nothing. No files are backed up, nothing is renamed or created. This advanced option assumes you already have your config files setup and know how they should behave in the new environment. When the package is build it will always create a .htaccess__[HASH] or web.config.orig. Since these files are already in the archive file they will show up when the archive is extracted. <br/><br/> <b>Additional Notes:</b> Inside the archive.zip will be a copy of the original .htaccess (Apache) or the web.config (IIS) files that were setup with your packaged site. They are both renamed to htaccess__[HASH] and web.config.orig. When using either 'Create New' or 'Restore Original' any existing config files will be backed up with a .bak extension. <i>None of these changes are made until Step 3 is completed, to avoid any issues the .htaccess might cause during the install</i> <br/><br/> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="col-opt">File Times</td> <td>When the archive is extracted should it show the current date-time or keep the original time it had when it was built. This setting will be applied to all files and directories.</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="col-opt">Logging</td> <td> The level of detail that will be sent to the log file (installer-log.txt). The recommend setting for most installs should be 'Light'. Note if you use Debug the amount of data written can be very large. Debug is only recommended for support. </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Inactive Plugins and Themes</td> <td> If this option is checked, only active themes and plugin will exists in the installed sites. When checked for a subsite to standalone migration, only active users will retain. </td> </tr> </table> <br/><br/> <h3>Notices</h3> To proceed with the install users must check the checkbox labeled " I have read and accept all terms & notices". This means you accept the term of using the software and are aware of any notices. </div> </div> </section> <!-- ============================================ STEP 2 ============================================== --> <?php $sectionId = 'section-step-2'; $expandClass = $sectionId == $open_section ?

Therefore, when you move a package (zip file) from one location to another the file and directory permissions may not always stick. If this is the case then check your WordPress directories and make sure it's permissions are set to 755. For files make sure the permissions are set to 644 (this does not apply to windows servers). Also pay attention to the owner/group attributes. For a full overview of the correct file changes see the <a href='http://codex.wordpress.org/Hardening_WordPress#File_permissions' target='_blank'>WordPress permissions codex</a> <br/><br/> <b>Web server configuration files:</b><br/> For Apache web server the root .htaccess file was copied to htaccess__[HASH]. A new stripped down .htaccess file was created to help simplify access issues. For IIS web server the web.config file was copied to web.config.orig, however no new web.config file was created. If you have not altered this file manually then resaving your permalinks and resaving your plugins should resolve most all changes that were made to the root web configuration file. If your still experiencing issues then open the .orig file and do a compare to see what changes need to be made. <br/><br/><b>Plugin Notes:</b><br/> It's impossible to know how all 3rd party plugins function. The Duplicator attempts to fix the new install URL for settings stored in the WordPress options table. Please validate that all plugins retained there settings after installing. If you experience issues try to bulk deactivate all plugins then bulk reactivate them on your new duplicated site. If you run into issues were a plugin does not retain its data then try to resave the plugins settings. <br/><br/> <b>Cache Systems:</b><br/> Any type of cache system such as Super Cache, W3 Cache, etc. should be emptied before you create a package. Another alternative is to include the cache directory in the directory exclusion path list found in the options dialog. Including a directory such as \pathtowordpress\wp-content\w3tc\ (the w3 Total Cache directory) will exclude this directory from being packaged. In is highly recommended to always perform a cache empty when you first fire up your new site even if you excluded your cache directory. <br/><br/> <b>Trying Again:</b><br/> If you need to retry and reinstall this package you can easily run the process again by deleting all files except the installer and package file and then browse to the installer again. <br/><br/> <b>Additional Notes:</b><br/> If you have made changes to your PHP files directly this might have an impact on your duplicated site. Be sure all changes made will correspond to the sites new location. Only the package (zip file) and the installer (php file) should be in the directory where you are installing the site.
