ManageWP

I used the cloning feature with great success the week manage wp went from free to paid (I forget the exact date) and I loved it and had no problems. Today my brother was trying to clone some sites and he was having issues and I figured it was just him doing something wrong but when I went in there and tried cloning I'm getting some unwanted redirects.

To make things possibly a little easier :
site1= the master/template site that was being cloned
site2= the site it was being cloned to

So when I tried to clone site 1 to site 2, at first everything looked normal except I noticed the cloning process took much longer then it use to in that it use to be all of 5 seconds and now it was more like 30. Then I went to site 2 and it's url was showing with site 1s content (like it was suppose to so far so good) then I tried logging into admin panel by going to site2/wp-login.php and it showed up like it was suppose to but then I put in my username and password and it successfully logged in, but it logged into site 1 admin panel site1/wp-admin/. So I'm unsure why this is happening, I'm guessing this is some kind of redirect. so then out of curiosity I wanted to see what would happen if I put in site2/wp-admin/ and it takes me to http://site1/wp-login.php?redi…..8;reauth=1 which is the wp-login for site 1. Also all the links on site 2 take me to the relevant page on site 1. for example clicking the privacy policy on page site 2 takes me to site 1 privacy policy page (this may be normal until you update permalinks or whatever I don't really remember)

So long story short I am in what appears to be a web of redirects that prevent me from accessing the admin area, also if I access the admin area from manage wp it opens up the admin page but then takes me to what I'm guessing is site 1 wp-login, luckily they are all either templates or very small micro niche sites so I am just going to start them from scratch which hopefully won't be too big of a deal but I'm curious what the cause of this is because I can't continue to use the site cloning feature until I find out what is causing the redirects and or how to get rid of them. Did managewp make a change to their cloning feature between when it came out and now that is causing this or is it something my brother and I did?

any light anyone can shed on what is causing the redirects would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi, I tried to clone one of my sites yesterday and got the same issues as above. I'm on the latest version of WP and my site is pretty big, about 700mb.

Would love to use ManageWP but need the clone tool mainly. Whats the issue?

Harper, did you get up and running with it?

Cheers
