Description
Hi All,
Related to ticket #22775...
We are also hoping to move the new workshops archive developed here: https://testworkshop1.commons.gc.cuny.edu
to a new domain: https://tlcworkshopsarchive.commons.gc.cuny.edu
I could clone the test site but wanted to check in here first to see if perhaps you could use the same method as outlined in #22775 to move testworkshops1 to new domain (which does not yet exist) in order to avoid any issues with the cloning process since it has been a bit wonky with larger sites lately.
This the the last request of this kind as part of this project.
Thanks!

Hi Laurie - I know that cloning has not been 100% lately, but could you try it anyway? If it works, it would save me a bunch of manual work. If the clone doesn't fully work, you could also try using the WP export tool from the old site, and importing it to the new one. If you run into big (or even medium) problems, I can then step in and do it the manual way.
Yes, can try this today. Will report back
A note:
On the home page none of the manually created links into category archives (ex: accessibility, art and affect, etc) changed during cloning. But I assume that this level of url change detail is not part of cloning...important to note this though because there are many internally linked pages on the tlcdevsite that we are hoping will be changed in the move to tlc.commons domains
I should also note that the server timed out during the cloning process and I received this message. Sorry, I am trying to do too many things at once!
The cloning process does try to change URLs in post content, and by the looks of it, the links here are embedded in post content (in the form of blocks) and should've been caught. See https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/blob/5acfe4bfc1bf7bd8c279585e54316bdc5a3a1189/wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php#L3349. Not sure why this would have failed. It could be that there was a timeout or something like that.
For the time being, I recommend fixing these links manually on the site you just cloned. For the tlc.commons site, I don't anticipate a similar problem since I'll be performing the search-replace in a more manual way, but we should definitely follow up to be sure.
Heh, yes, a timeout is probably the cause. This is related to our more general cloning problems.
