These are the advanced options for advanced users.
Option Details
Processing
Extraction
Mode
Manual Archive Extraction
Set the Extraction value to "Manual Archive Extraction" when the archive file has already been manually extracted on the server. This can be done through your host's control panel such as cPanel or by your host directly. This setting can be helpful if you have a large archive file or are having issues with the installer extracting the file due to timeout issues.

PHP ZipArchive
This extraction method will use the PHP ZipArchive code to extract the archive zip file.

PHP ZipArchive Chunking
This extraction method will use the PHP ZipArchive code with multiple execution threads to extract the archive zip file.

Shell-Exec Unzip
This extraction method will use the PHP shell_exec to call the system unzip command on the server. This is the default mode that is used if it's available on the server.

DupArchive
This extraction method will use the DupArchive extractor code to extract the daf-based archive file.
Server
Throttling
If the current host is a budget host that monitors CPU usage, then users might want to consider checking this box to help slow down the process and not kick off any high-usage monitors.
Extraction Flow
Archive Action Extract files over current files
The existing site files will be overwritten with the contents of the archive.zip/daf.

Pro Remove WordPress core and content and extract
The existing WordPress core files and WordPress content directory will be removed, and then the archive will be extracted.

Pro Remove all files except add-on sites and extract
All files except an add-on site will be removed, and then the archive will be extracted. An add-on site is a site/domain that is stored in a directory off of your main site that has been "added on" to your main hosting account. For instance, when you purchased a hosting account it could be for a.com. Then after that, you decided to add b.com and c.com to the same hosting account. The structure of this setup is often the following although it can vary some:
  • /public_html - contains files for a.com
  • /public_html/b.com - contains files for b.com
  • /public_html/c.com - contains files for c.com
The directories /public_html/b.com and c.com contain the files for the add-on sites b.com and c.com (so the option above means that b.com and c.com would be preserved and not deleted when you installed to a.com)
Skip Files Extract all files
Extract all files from the package archive. This option is selected by default.

Pro Skip extraction of WordPress core files
Extract all files except WordPress core files. Choose this option to extract only the wp-content folder and other non-core WordPress files and directories.

Pro Skip extraction of WordPress core files and plugins/themes existing on host
Extract all files except WordPress core files and existing plugins/themes on the current host.

Pro Extract only media files and new plugins and themes
Extract all media files, new plugins, and new themes. The installer will not extract plugins and themes that already exist on the destination site.
File Times When the archive is extracted it should show the current date-time or keep the original time it had when it was built. This setting will be applied to all files and directories. Note: Setting the Original time is currently only supported when using the ZipArchive Format.
File
Permissions
Switch on and set permissions in either octal or symbolic values to assign permissions to files. This option is not available on Windows machines.
Directory
Permissions
Switch on and set permissions in either octal or symbolic values to assign permissions to directories. This option is not available on Windows machines.
Configuration Files
WordPress
wp-config
Do nothing
This option simply does nothing. The wp-config file does not get backed up, renamed, or created. This advanced option assumes you already know how it should behave in the new environment. This option is for advanced technical persons.

Modify original
This is the default recommended option which will modify the original wp-config file.

Create new from wp-config sample
This option creates a new wp-config file by modifying the wp-config-sample.php file. The new wp-config.php file will behave as if it was created in a fresh, default WordPress installation.

Apache
.htaccess
Do nothing
This option simply does nothing. The .htaccess is not backed up, renamed, or created. This advanced option assumes you already have your .htaccess file set up and know how it should behave in the new environment. When the package is built it will always create an .htaccess file at this location: /dup-installer/original_files_[HASH]/.htaccess Since the file is already in the archive file it will show up when the archive is extracted.

Retain original from Archive.zip/daf
This option simply copies the /dup-installer/original_files_[HASH]/.htaccess file to the .htaccess file. Please note this option will cause issues with the install process if the .htaccess is not properly set up to handle the new server environment. This is an advanced option and should only be used if you know how to properly configure your .htaccess configuration.

Create New
This is the default recommended option which will create a new .htaccess file. The new .htaccess file is streamlined to help guarantee no conflicts are created during install.

Notes: Inside the archive.zip or archive.daf will be a copy of the original .htaccess (Apache) file that was set up with your packaged site. The .htaccess file is copied to /dup-installer/original_files_[HASH]/source_site_htaccess. When using either "Create New" or "Retain original from Archive.zip/daf" an existing .htaccess file will be backed up to a /wp-content/backups-dup-lite/installer/original_files_[HASH]/source_site_htaccess. This change will not made until the final step is completed, to avoid any issues the .htaccess might cause during the install
General
php.ini, .user.ini,
web.config
OVERVIEW
When the archive is built it will always create an original backup of the php.ini, .user.ini, and web.config files ("Config Files") if they exist. The backups will be in the following location within the archive file without an extension. Original File Backups
archive.zip|daf/dup-installer/original_files_[HASH]/[location]_phpini
archive.zip|daf/dup-installer/original_files_[HASH]/[location]_userini
archive.zip|daf/dup-installer/original_files_[HASH]/[location]_webconfig
If there are "Config Files" on the new server, backups may also optionally be created. Backup [location] is defined by the following:
  • source_site Backup of original file when the archive was created on the source host
  • installer_host Backup of original file before the installer starts on active host

ACTIONS
Do nothing
This option performs no actions and assumes you already have your configuration files set up properly; either on the server or in the archive. If the same "Config Files" exist in both the deploy directory and the archive, then the archive files will overwrite any configuration files that exist at the same location in the archive.


Retain original from Archive.zip/daf
  1. Moves any existing "Config Files" on the new host to the following location: /dup-installer/original_files_[HASH]/installer_host_[CONFIG-TYPE]
    An existing "Config File" resides on the server before the archive is extracted or step 1 is ran.
  2. The installer last step copies all "Config Files" from the archive backups to the correct location on the new host. They are copied from this location:
    /dup-installer/original_files_[HASH]/source_site_[CONFIG-TYPE]

Reset
  1. Moves any existing "Config Files" on the new host to the following location: /dup-installer/original_files_[HASH]/installer_host_[CONFIG-TYPE]
    An existing "Config File" resides on the server before the archive is extracted or step 1 is ran.
  2. If any "Config Files" already exist in the archive they will be deployed "as is" to the location that matches the archive file structure.
General
Logging The level of detail that will be sent to the log file (installer-log.txt). The recommended setting for most installs should be "Light." Note if you use Debug the amount of data written can be very large. Debug is only recommended for support.
Cleanup Pro Remove disabled plugins/themes
Remove all inactive plugins and themes when installing site. Inactive users will also be removed during subsite to standalone migrations.

Pro Remove users without permissions
Removes users that currently do not have any permissions associated with their accounts.
Safe Mode Safe mode is designed to configure the site with specific options at install time to help overcome issues that may happen during the install where the site is having issues. These options should only be used if you run into issues after you have tried to run an install.

Disabled
This is the default. This option will not apply any additional settings at install time.

Enabled
When enabled the safe mode option will disable all the plugins at install time. Note: When this option is set you will need to manually re-enable the plugins that need to be enabled after the install from the WordPress admin plugins page.


Database Tab

These are the advanced options for database configuration.
Option Details
Table Prefix Pro This option allows changing the table prefix to other than the package creation site's table prefix. The table prefix is the value placed in the front of your database tables. It is possible to have multiple installations in one database if you give each WordPress site a unique prefix.
Mode Modes affect the SQL syntax MySQL supports (and others such as MariaDB) . This setting performs various data validation checks. This makes it easier to use MySQL in different environments and to use MySQL together with other database servers. It is very useful when running into conversion issues. The following options are supported:
  • Default: This is the recommended setting to use. It will use the current Database mode setting.
  • Disable: This will prevent the database engine from running in any mode.
  • Custom: This option will allow you to enter a custom set of mode commands. See the documentation link below for options.
For a full overview please see the MySQL mode and MariaDB mode specific to your version. To add a custom setting enable the Custom radio button and enter in the mode(s) that needs to be applied.
Processing Chunking mode
Split the work of inserting data across several requests. If your host throttles requests or you're on a shared server that is being heavily utilized by other sites then you should choose this option. This is the default option.

Single step
Perform data insertion in a single request. This is typically a bit faster than chunking, however it is more susceptible to problems when the database is large or the host is constrained.
Create Run all CREATE SQL statements at once. This option should be checked when source database tables have foreign key relationships. When choosing this option there might be a chance of a timeout error. Uncheck this option to split CREATE queries in chunks. This option is checked by default.
Objects Allow or Ignore objects for "Views," "Stored Procedures," "Functions" and "DEFINER" statements. Typically the defaults for these settings should be used. In the event you see an error such as "'Access denied; you need (at least one of) the SUPER privilege(s) for this operation" then changing the value for each operation should be considered.


URLs & Paths Tab Pro

In the tab "URLs & Paths," you can read the current path of all the various path configurations for the WordPress site. These are advanced options that should only be edited if you know the correct path. These options are editable in the Pro version. These paths and URLs are set automatically by the package installer. You can set these paths and URLs manually. If you are changing it, please make sure you are putting the right path or URL.

Uniting Against Cancer: A Reflection on World Cancer Day

World Cancer Day

World Cancer Day is observed on February 4th every year, uniting people around the globe to raise awareness about cancer, its prevention, and treatment. This day serves as a crucial platform to inspire action, celebrate achievements, and encourage everyone to join the fight against this formidable disease.  We will explore the significance of World Cancer Day, the impact of cancer on individuals and communities, and the collective efforts needed to create a cancer-free world.

Understanding Cancer:

Cancer comprises a diverse set of illnesses marked by irregular cell growth and division. It can affect any part of the body, leading to the formation of tumors that may be benign or malignant. Malignant tumors, commonly known as cancer, can invade nearby tissues and spread to other parts of the body through the bloodstream or lymphatic system.

Cancer arises from genetic mutations that disrupt the normal regulatory mechanisms controlling cell growth. These mutations can be caused by various factors, including exposure to carcinogens, genetic predisposition, or a combination of both. The complex nature of cancer makes it challenging to pinpoint a single cause, and it often involves a series of genetic changes over time. The disease manifests differently in each individual, leading to a wide range of symptoms and outcomes.

The Impact of Cancer:

Cancer profoundly impacts individuals, families, and communities worldwide. It not only poses a significant threat to life but also brings emotional, financial, and social challenges. The journey of a cancer patient involves medical treatments, emotional resilience, and a constant battle against uncertainties. Families of cancer patients often find themselves navigating a complex web of emotions and responsibilities.

World Cancer Day Objectives:

  1. Raise Awareness: The primary objective of World Cancer Day is to increase public awareness about cancer, its prevention, early detection, and available treatment options. Knowledge empowers individuals to make informed decisions about their health and encourages proactive measures to reduce cancer risks.
  2. Reduce Stigma: There is often a stigma associated with a cancer diagnosis, leading to discrimination and isolation. World Cancer Day aims to reduce this stigma, fostering a compassionate and understanding society that supports individuals and families affected by cancer.
  3. Advocate for Prevention: Many cancers are preventable through lifestyle changes and early detection. World Cancer Day emphasizes the importance of adopting healthy habits, such as regular exercise, a balanced diet, and avoiding tobacco and excessive alcohol consumption.
  4. Support Patients: Cancer patients need not only medical treatment but also emotional and social support. World Cancer Day promotes a supportive environment that acknowledges the challenges faced by patients and encourages empathy and assistance from the community.

The Role of Early Detection:

Early detection plays a crucial role in improving cancer outcomes. Regular screenings, self-examinations, and awareness of potential warning signs enable healthcare professionals to diagnose cancer at an early stage when treatment is often more effective. World Cancer Day emphasizes the importance of proactive health measures and encourages individuals to prioritize routine check-ups.

Innovations in Cancer Treatment:

Advancements in medical research and technology have led to groundbreaking innovations in cancer treatment. Precision medicine, immunotherapy, and targeted therapies are transforming the landscape of cancer care. These developments offer personalized and more effective treatment options, giving hope to many cancer patients.

The Impact of Lifestyle on Cancer Risk:

Certain lifestyle factors contribute to an increased risk of developing cancer. Tobacco use, poor dietary choices, lack of physical activity, and excessive sun exposure are among the key risk factors. World Cancer Day advocates for lifestyle modifications to reduce these risks, emphasizing the role of individual choices in preventing cancer.

Global Initiatives on World Cancer Day:

World Cancer Day brings together governments, non-governmental organizations, healthcare professionals, and communities worldwide to work towards a common goal. Numerous initiatives are launched to address the diverse challenges posed by cancer, including improving access to healthcare, funding research, and promoting cancer education.

Community Engagement:

Communities play a pivotal role in supporting those affected by cancer. World Cancer Day encourages community engagement through events, support groups, and educational activities. These initiatives help create a sense of solidarity, reduce isolation, and provide a platform for sharing experiences and resources.

Creating a Cancer-Free World:

The vision of a cancer-free world requires a collective effort from individuals, communities, and policymakers. Key components of this vision include:

  1. Prevention through Education:
    • Raising awareness about the causes of cancer and preventive measures.
    • Encouraging the adoption of healthy lifestyle choices from a young age.
    • Implementing educational programs in schools and communities.
  2. Early Detection and Screening:
    • Promoting routine screenings for common cancers, such as breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer.
    • Encouraging self-examinations and awareness of early signs and symptoms.
    • Ensuring access to affordable and widespread screening programs.
  3. Equitable Access to Treatment:
    • Addressing disparities in healthcare access to ensure all individuals, regardless of socioeconomic status, can receive quality treatment.
    • Supporting initiatives that provide financial assistance to those in need of cancer care.
  4. Investment in Research:
    • Allocating resources for cancer research to explore innovative treatments and potential cures.
    • Collaborating on a global scale to share research findings and advancements.
  5. Psychosocial Support:
    • Establishing support networks and counseling services for cancer patients and their families.
    • Reducing the stigma associated with cancer through community education and awareness.

World Cancer Day serves as a poignant reminder of the global impact of cancer and the shared responsibility we hold in combating this disease. By fostering awareness, promoting prevention, supporting patients, and advancing research, we contribute to the collective effort to create a world where cancer is no longer a pervasive threat. Together, we can inspire hope, raise awareness, and work towards a future where cancer is preventable, treatable, and ultimately defeated.
