I’m trying to duplicate my site into a new folder. I’ve created a new folder from the root called /new I’ve installed wordpress with a new database. I’ve exported the original/root db and change the path references via a text editor and imported it to my new db. I’ve copied all files from teh root to my new folder.
Almost everything is there…except as an example if I go to Event Espresso -> General Settings and check the settings…
-
the logo is not showing (although the file has been copied and the path is correct in the database.
-
the email for “Payment Confirmation Email: ” is blank – and in the original site it has content.
-
the email for “Default Registration Confirmation Email: ” is different than the orginal.
Very strange is there something I’m missing?

Hi Joanne,
The options that you’re having issues with are stored in the database as serialized array. When moving those from one part of the server to another, a simple text editor isn’t the best tool to handle editing options like these. The reason is the serialized string lengths get changed but the indexes for the serialized strings do not, which makes options no longer work.
There are a few WordPress plugins that can help migrate database settings correctly. I’ll post a link to one that I’ve used and another one that I’ve seen recommended:

OMG Josh You rock. Thank you. That worked like a charm.
I did have to use Google Chrome to get the file to download. For some reason Firefox did nothing. But thanks again.
