- Kindly check the .htaccess file of the staging site and change it to the default if there are many modifications.

2. Misconfigured wp-config.php file:

3. Misconfigured user.ini file:

4. Too many unwanted files / DB tables included to the staging site:

Solution:

a) Go to WP Admin Dashboard -> WP Time Capsule -> Settings -> Staging tab

b) Here in the Include/Exclude Content settings, exclude all the folders that belong to other backup plugins, cache plugin files, and other temp files and log files.

Then retry the staging process.

5. Wrong contents on the .htaccess file

Solution:

Edit the .htaccess file of the staging site and delete all the contents of the file and replace it with the following

# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

RewriteBase /staging/

RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule . /staging/index.php [L]
