Copying a complete site

  • A friend purchased a new business and wants to change the businesses old website to look exactly like his other businesses current WordPress site. How can I grab/export/copy his complete WordPress site, so we can just replace the content with the new businesses content? Thank you!

  • Do you want to change the domain that you are using or do you want to change only the content?

    The domain and the content.

    If all your trying to do is transfer the content, you can do a complete export of the database via phpmyadmin.

    Once you have that you can drop the tables from the new site, and re-import the database from the existing site to transfer all content.

    You’ll most likely need to change things in there such as the site_url and the admin_url before the site will be accessible.

    If you want to simply transfer posts/pages you can use the WordPress export tool to export your posts and pages to a CSV which can then be imported to the new site. All content will transfer, the themes, plugins and users will not.
