Are subdomains included in Duplicator package?

    (I know the WordPress version is old — 3.6, but that’s why I’m creating the Duplicator package… as a backup before updating WP.)

    Months ago, I used Duplicator to create two cloned sub-domains of my site. Had to manually extract them, but other than that, the plugin worked like a charm. I’ve almost finished testing on those sub-domains and will eliminate them soon.

    When getting ready to create a new package of my main site today, I noticed that the pre-zip size is three times what it should be. Does the process of creating a package include both sub-domains, or could there be old Duplicator packages in the server files that I need to search for and delete?

    Thanks so much for your help. I recommend your plugin to everyone!

  • Hey @dglauren,

    Yes sub domains would be included in the package. You can use folder filters if you would like to exclude them…

    Cheers~

    Hello – I found this thread not sure there was another similar one that answers my question in conjunction to here:
    Can you unzip the duplicator file and delete out the subdomains that do not need to be re-installed, rezip and then have the wordpress site re-install without deleting subdomains that were deleted from the package?
    Or will this totally erase the subdomains there when installing?
    I duplicated my Main WP on a root public.html and Everything is in this zip file.
    I figure if I just delete out what doesn’t need to be re-installed, the other files in my root public html will be left alone.
    Thanks

    Hey @nclocal,

    You can only install one site at a time. If you have sub-domains WP sites they will not install if they have their own database. If you don’t want the sub-domains in the package you can exclude folders on Step1 when creating packages under file filters, there is a link to a video on the User Guide page about using sub-domains.

    Cheers~
