Softaculous Clone Fails

When creating a staging or cloned site for WordPress using Softaculous, the site clone may fail with an error like the following.

The following errors were found :

Could not make the query numbered : 0
MySQL Error No : 1146
MySQL Error : Table 'userna5_wp.wp_blogs' doesn't exist
Could not make the query numbered : 0
MySQL Error No : 1146
MySQL Error : Table 'userna5_wp.wp_blogs' doesn't exist
Could not make the query numbered : 0
MySQL Error No : 1146
MySQL Error : Table 'userna5_wp.wp_site' doesn't exist
Could not make the query numbered : 0
MySQL Error No : 1146
MySQL Error : Table 'userna5_wp.wp_blogs' doesn't exist

This means that the site has the configuration for a multisite but not the required database tables.

Here, we explain how to remove the incorrect configuration so that Softaculous can clone or stage the site normally.
