    hi there

    A bit of a novice at web editing but have created a copy of my web http://www.staffordrc.org and called it http://www.staffordrc.co.uk

    I have been using Tools export to transfer info and pages but sadly the .org menu bars layout and drop downs have not transferred over.

    Can some please tell me where I can copy these setting so that I can transfer them to my back up web or where there might be a video demo

    Thanks in advance for your help

    Hi StaffordRC!

    I would suggest to use: https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/
    which does help you to move a hole site, with all settings, design etc.

    Does that solves your issue?

    Best regards,
    Basilis

    Hi Basilis

    It looks like it should but sadly when I have tried to run this I get three errors at the scan stage. I fixed the first by changing the settings to Use archive flush and MySQLdump

    But I still get two errors

    Total size and large files

    Tried running a number of times but same messages each time

    Deleted the cache but did not effect the results

    So I tick the box to ignore this and try running anyway and get this message

    Internal Server Error
    The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

    Please contact the server administrator at (Email address hidden if logged out) to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error.

    More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

    Any ideas what might be causing this and for me to overcome the problem?

    Thanks

    Looking at this https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-migrate-db/ and the video it would seem to only copy accross the web content rather than the theme layout, menues and sub menues which is what I was looking for.

    Can you clarify this is the case and if so do you have any other suggested plugins I could try

    thanks

    Hi!

    It exports the database so all of the theme options will be carried over as well.

    I use BackupBuddy, http://www.wpbeginner.com/refer/backupbuddy/, because it can save backups / restore them from email and other locations but it’s not free. Any backup plugin should work though, you can also reload backups manually from your cPanel or whatever software the server is using.

    Regards,
    Elliott
