Troubleshooting

Discussions page shows 404

If category-specific URL fails, open Discussions home first:

https://github.com/Vexxo-Dev/wpclone_cli/discussions

Possible reasons:

• Not signed in to GitHub.
• Direct category link changed.
• Temporary repo visibility or permission issue.

SSH connection fails

Check:

• Host and user in --src-host and --dst-host.
• SSH key permissions.
• Firewall and port settings.

Test manually:

ssh deploy@old-server.com

wp command not found

wpclone automatically falls back to mysqldump/mysql when WP-CLI is missing.

To force fallback mode:

./wpclone --config migration.conf --db-method mysqldump

Migration failed unexpectedly

Run with debug mode:

WPCLONE_DEBUG=1 ./wpclone --config migration.conf --dry-run

Then inspect log output and re-run.
