Rene Hermenau on "[Plugin: WP Staging - DB & File Duplicator & Migration] Copies staging to live and now the live install says staging?"

Hey Lori,
I just added WP Clone by WP Academy, and in creating a backup of my staged site, though I haven't really changed anything yet, I get an error message "page not found" and the original site is showing. I think there are a lot of old files on the original site, which I have not been given clearance to remove.

I overrode max memory and execution time, limited file size to 100Mb and no other changes, and it went through. So, I have a url and just to the right (1.42GB) is indicated...size of the site??

The instructions for the next steps are a bit unclear...to me, at least...

paste into the "Restore" dialog of a new WordPress site, which will clone the original site to the new site. You must install the plugin on the new site and then run the WP Clone > Restore function.

Since you were overhauling a site, you didn't "paste into the Restore dialog of a new WP site", but replaced what was on the original site...right?? And installing "the plugin on the new site", you read as install WP Clone on the original site? Lastly, does running "the WP Clone > Restore function" replace the original content automatically, or did you have to take extra steps?

Thanks for reading and if you have time, I would dig hearing your thoughts. Kudos to you for figuring this out!

Thanks,
Steve
