    great idea but I got this when I tried the installer.php : Parse error:
    syntax error, unexpected T_STATIC, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION
    or T_VAR or ‘}’ in
    /homepages/34/d215282124/htdocs/johnmoriartymusic/installer.php on line 170

    When you pack up a site with Duplicator and transfer it anywhere one needs
    to create a new database for the new site. This means one needs to go to
    the Cpanel for the new location/domain and there create a new database
    which will then be used for the new site installation/deployment.

    I’ve just begun experimenting with XAMPP for production on my local host.
    It will be interesting to see whether I succeed in transferring the site to
    my online hosting service. This tutorial will definitely help. Clear
    narration and excellent instructions. Thank you.

    I have just done all the above. It works exept for 1 thing. It did not
    install the index.php file! So the site wont work 🙁 Any idea why it is not
    doing that? using wamp and hosting on yourhost.nl

    Thank you. I followed your instructions and everything worked out fine,
    much better than if I just followed their FAQ alone.

    Hi Paal. I updated duplicator plugin a few days ago. Now i have a trouble
    with a huge portfolio and i need use the package to restore the web, buy i
    can´t because Duplicator said that the package was made with a previous
    version! Can you help me? Thanx in advance!

    Cory the developer told me this: “They can just create a new package or if
    they must use an older package then they can look in the wp-snapshots
    folder for the older package and associated installer…” See if that works
    for you.

    Great tutorial. I followed it and worked like a charm! Easy WP transfer
    from one domain to another. Thank you!!!

    I really appreciate you making and uploading this video! WordPress ‘help’
    files weren’t actually helpful at all, to a layman. Having your video to
    reference as I moved my local WP site to my host (to overwrite my much
    crappier WP site), was a fantastic help. I don’t think I could have done it
    otherwise!

    Perfect. For anyone hosting with GoDaddy, use your hostname instead of
    localhost
