28
+ As mentioned below, WP Clone fails in 10-20% of installations, as reflected in the negative reviews (although note that negative reviews are not representative of the failure rate, as more people will leave negative reviews for failure than those people who will leave positive reviews for success. We have reports of successful transfers of 3GB sites). We are working to correct these failures, and we would love some assistance here, so please let us know (at marc@wpacademy.com) if you would like to help out with plugin development.
29
+ <br />Note also that WP Clone should NOT be used on WP Engine or any hosting system with proprietary operating system. Instead, use their built-in tools.<br />

+ = Update April 2015 =
32
+ WP Clone fails to restore in about 10-20% of installations. This appears to be related to the hosting platform rather than the WordPress version. We are attempting to isolate this problem and determine the types of installations that fail in order to update the plugin. Under no circumstances should the source (origin) site ever be damaged or destroyed.
33
+ Feel free to leave a negative review and details of your failure on the support forum, but please be polite as we do not receive any remuneration for writing and supporting this plugin. We will investigate as we can. As a reminder also to never overwrite an installation for which you do not have a backup -- in normal usage this plugin would be used only to overwrite a new (or blank) WordPress installation. Thanks -- WP Academy Support
