<p>I repeated the steps to create the duplicated site, but instead of doing a manual export and import of the database I use nitro to import it, and then my problem was gone.

<p>Below you'll see an updated sequence for my site cloning using Nitro.</p>
<pre class="lang-bash prettyprint-override"><code># 1. In the new project's directory:
nitro create myproject

# 2. Create a db backup in the original site
Control panel -&gt; Utilities -&gt; Database Backup

# 3. Import the db into the new site
nitro db import theExportedSQLFile
  # Nitro will ask you into which db you want to import the sql file. Choose the new site's dB

# 4. Then, copy the following folders, and files, from original to new site:
  * ./config (then delete the license.key file, a new, unique one will be autogenerated)
  * ./modules
  * ./templates
  * ./vendor
  * ./web
  * composer.json, composer.lock

# 5. To auto load modules and download/install plugins in the new project I ran
nitro composer dump-autoload -a
nitro composer update

# 6. Update settings 
In the control panel go to backend -&gt; settings -&gt; General, Sites &amp; Email.

(Asked by: username_0 on 2021-11-06)

I duplicated an existing site, and mostly everything is working, but I'm having a hard time with the Redactor plugin.
In any field that uses it, Redactor is not enabled, and there's this message: Support for Redactor fields has been moved to a plugin.. Followed by an Enable button.

As it is often the case, I found a solution, but I'm not sure what went wrong on the first place.
I repeated the steps to create the duplicated site, but instead of doing a manual export and import of the database I use nitro to import it, and then my problem was gone. I admit, it's nice to do everything form within your terminal, and not having to deal with one more piece of software to import the sql file.
Below you'll see an updated sequence for my site cloning using Nitro.
# 1. In the new project's directory:
nitro create myproject
nitro craft setup

# 2. Create a db backup in the original site
Control panel -> Utilities -> Database Backup

# 3. Import the db into the new site
nitro db import theExportedSQLFile
  # Nitro will ask you into which db you want to import the sql file. Choose the new site's dB

# 4. Then, copy the following folders, and files, from original to new site:
  * ./config (then delete the license.key file, a new, unique one will be autogenerated)
  * ./modules
  * ./templates
  * ./vendor
  * ./web
  * composer.json, composer.lock

# 5. To auto load modules and download/install plugins in the new project I ran
nitro composer dump-autoload -a
nitro composer update

# 6. Update settings 
In the control panel go to backend -> settings -> General, Sites & Email.


All in all, this should not take more than 10 minutes.
