    How to duplicate a live site to use as a test site

    Only the cloned site. But you don't even need to do that much - once you suspect that this is the issue, just carefully check the URL in the address bar after sending your browser to the cloned site. If it automagically redirects to the live site, then bingo, that's why you've been having the...

    How to duplicate a live site to use as a test site

    Well, they certainly sound OK. The canonicalisation thing will bite you though, if you didn't (a) change the board URL or (b) turn off canonicalisation entirely. The symptom will be somewhat obvious but only if you look for it, which is easier said than done because you kind-of assume that if...

    OK, that's potentially your problem. Quoting from the update to the resource:

    This is nuts, unless perhaps you have left "Enable board URL canonicalization" turned on?

    It's fair to say that reading the last few pages of this thread would have alerted a potential buyer to trouble ahead. It's also fair to say that one review here (I just added a second) warned of problems. But if you don't have an account already on the developer's forum, this is all you see...

    How to duplicate a live site to use as a test site

    That would have been a nice and easy explanation, oh well... I guess you could see what options aren't at defaults. Maybe also check the cached files with the Web GUI thingy and see if any clues emerge?

    How to duplicate a live site to use as a test site

    I'm surprised by this. We have multiple test copies running, and it just works. (I did have to change the memcache namespace for each copy, which I thought I had learned from this guide, but I can't now locate anything about that in the main resource or the update... weird.) Agreed, though I'm...

    Have you ever had to restart a forum?

    For sure. Human time costs so much more than storage. When you said "expensive" perhaps you meant some kind of service provision, rather than just the storage? I wouldn't regard any backup approach as fit for purpose if it depended on manual intervention, unless that intervention was from a...

    Have you ever had to restart a forum?

    Not sure why you think it's expensive - which services have you considered? You can get a terabyte of rsync-able storage for around 4 euros per month from Hetzner, and I'm sure there are many other products with similar costs.

    If somebody developed a patch to make this add-on work with 2.3, would it be permissible to share it in this thread, given the fact that it's pretty clearly abandonware?

    Email bounce handler - issues with gmail. Recommendations for working providers?

    Hi folks. I'm wondering if others have recently experienced worsening problems with the use of a gmail account for the email bounce handler. I'd also welcome reports of email providers which are working successfully for XF bounce handling (y)

    Out of curiosity: where did you come across this add-on? The reason I ask is that I imagine there are people who find and attempt to purchase it (from https://www.addonflare.com/) without ever coming to this forum. (This by the way is an obvious reason why PayPal would have no business denying a...
