Troubleshooting general Multisite Issues

Having trouble with multisite network using Duplicator Pro? This guide provides practical solutions to troubleshoot and resolve the general multisite issues effectively.

To begin with, make sure you are using the latest version of Duplicator Pro. Please check the changelog and system requirements.

If you attempt to move a Multisite network using Duplicator Lite, you will need to handle any issues on your own.

However, if you are familiar with Multisite networks and want to try migrating with the free version, this article may be helpful.

Upgrade to Duplicator Pro for Multisite

For a smoother Multisite migration and access to advanced features, consider upgrading to Duplicator Pro. To learn more about its capabilities and how to use the Multisite features, check out the following articles:

Access Duplicator Pro Main Menu

Duplicator Pro is only available from the main administrator dashboard and cannot be accessed from a subsite menu.

To access the plugin options, navigate to WordPress Admin » My Sites (top left) » Network Admin » Dashboard » Duplicator Pro (main menu).

Certainly, Duplicator Pro operates at the top network level in a WordPress multisite setup. This means that backups and restores can only be managed from the network level, not directly from the subsites.

Redirect Loop Problem

To fix redirection loops that may occur when migrating a Multisite website, check the variable below and ensure it matches your database entry:

define( ‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘www.example.com’ );
