Clone site server side

Just did some tests and I think I’ve found it!

Instead of writing all that code this seems this works just as well:

/**
 * Before doing anything: setup clone $_POST data.
 * [] {
 *     @type  string  'action'         => 'process',
 *     @type  string  'clone_mode'     => 'core',
 *     @type  int     'source_id'      => $blog_id,
 *     @type  string  'target_name'    => $target_name,
 *     @type  string  'target_title'   => $target_title,
 *     @type  bool    'disable_addons' => true,
 *     @type  string  'clone_nonce'    => wp_create_nonce('ns_cloner')
 * }
 */

// Load WordPress.
require( wp-load.php );

// Setup clone process and run it.
$ns_site_cloner = new ns_cloner();
$ns_site_cloner->process();

$site_id = $ns_site_cloner->target_id;
$site_info = get_blog_details( $site_id );
if ( $site_info ) {
	// Clone successful!
}

Thanks!

Nice! Yes – there are definitely a few ways to do this. Looks like your way is using the $_POST mechanisms that we added relatively more recently to facilitate the 1-click cloning that you can do from the Sites list. Great approach, and thanks for sharing your solution!

No problem!
