Migrating my Betheme website using duplicator but the new website crashed
Hi,
I'm migrating a Wordpress.com website to a Wordpress.org. I have my Betheme installed on the old .com site. I used Duplicator to migrate the site, but the site crashed. Below are the fatal errors I met:
My questions is what should be a correct process to use duplicator with Betheme?
Does the process below sounds correct?
I created a brand new .org site --> I still have Betheme on my .com site and use duplicator to download the site --> Import the downloaded files to the new .org site.
Or should the process include deregister my Betheme license at the old .com site first then register at the .org site before I import the files? i.e.
I created a brand new .org site --> I still have Betheme on my .com site and use duplicator to download the site --> I deregister at my old site --> I register at the new site --> Import the downloaded files to the new .org site.
Are there any other tips I should know about to avoid errors when using duplicator to migrate a Betheme website?
Thank you and looking forward to you reply!

Hello,
The process should be as follows: migrating your website to a new domain, ensuring that everything was moved correctly, deregistering the license from the old domain, removing the files from there, and registering the license on a new domain.
Anyway, the files that are pointed out in your fatal error screenshots refer to the WordPress files, not the Betheme ones. Did you check the link from that error message? https://duplicator.com/knowledge-base/
Did you try contacting Duplicator support regarding this problem?
Best regards
Thank you Phil, this migration process is helpful.
Yes, I was also contacting Duplicator. I think they would help me with the Wordpress errors.
@Phil
If I'm going to manually migrate my site without using Duplicator, how can I speed up the process?
If I buy another Betheme license for my new site, is there a way for me to copy paste my old pages from my old sites?
You can use the Export/Import feature in the BeBuilder to copy pages.
https://support.muffingroup.com/how-to/how-to-import-export-muffin-builder-content/
You can use Theme options Export from Betheme -> Theme options -> Backup & Reset.
To change links in BeBuilder from an old domain to a new one, you can use this tool: https://support.muffingroup.com/how-to/how-to-change-url-path-in-muffin-builder/.
However, rest settings you would have to set up manually.
