State of Plugins not Restored

[AnneParticipant]

In my latest migration from hosted site to local, using the latest Updraft 1.14.12 and the Bitnami WP Stack, all of the plugins except Updraft Plus were cloned as inactive. It seems to me this has not happened in the past. We have 67 plugins, so I don’t want to keep track of them manually. Is there a way to clone the activated status of our plugins?
Thanks.

Hi Anne,

It is possible that the migration was not successful.

Please send us a copy of the migration log?
You can find this log in the ‘wp-content/updraft’ directory of your new site location.
You can send the log file as an attachment or copy the contents into an online tool (such as https://pastebin.com/ )

Best Wishes,
Bryle

This issue is occurring on our sites too. Two brand new clones for migration have failed to activate plugs leaving us to have to activate them by hand. Latest version of updraft pro used.

Hi @Anne and @Shane,

Please send us a of the migration log? You can use an online tool such as https://pastebin.com/ or Dropbox and paste the link here so we can access the log.

Alternatively, you can send us the migration log as an attachment if you use our customer support form here – https://updraftplus.com/paid-support-requests/.

I found a fix:
I ran the migration again. Before backing up, I disabled the proprietary plugins from our host and our maintenance company.
The migration ran correctly.
It is my guess that these plugins are designed to work specifically with our hosting servers and site.
The plugins in our case:
SG Optimizer
Maintainn Client
Maintainn Tools
ManageWP – Worker

When the migration was completed I deleted the plugins from the local site.

Thanks

More insight:
If some or all of the plugins are deactivated after migration you can determine which plugins are causing the migration problem. In the WP dashboard, view the Inactive Plugin list, select all, and Bulk Actions/Activate. The plugins will be activated in alphabetical order. If WP is unable to activate a plugin, it will stop the whole process, leaving that plugin and all the rest deactivated. Select them all again, deselect the top plugin and repeat the bulk activation.
