Clone Migrate Restore Failed

[admin489Participant]

Hi. I’m trying to clone my production site to my devtest environment. It was originally created out of the devtest using updraft clone/migrate functionality, so I am surprized when the same functionality does not work to clone/migrate in the opposite direction. There are the following error messages per an extract from the log file. Can you please advise what I can do to get it to work. Thanks.

Hi,

There appears to be a file permission issue.

Can you make sure that UpdraftPlus and WordPress has the correct file permission. The following article on Smashing Magazine is a good guide as to the file permissions/ownerships that are required for WordPress: https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2014/05/proper-wordpress-filesystem-permissions-ownerships/#file-and-folder-ownership-for-wordpress
