Copy subsite to another subsite

  • I searched everywhere and there seems to be only one plugin that claims to do this but it costs over $300 for the pro version and I don’t even know if it’ll do the job. Why is it so hard to duplicate / copy-overwrite subsites within the same multisite network? I imagine this should be possible by default!

  • Are you trying to copy a multisite site?

    Yes, hence subsite. Each site within the multisite network is a subsite.I already mentioned its site within multisite.

    I have a domain setup with a multisite network, let’s call it domain.com. No functional website within the root domain, just a blank page saying nothing to see here. It’s there just to host the multisite network i.e. share themes and plugins and speed up install/update times, and save storage space.

    I have a subsite within domain.com, let’s call it subsite1.domain.com, I have configured themes, plugins, and everything. However, I need several other sites EXACTLY like this with only difference it’s address and content.

    I create another subsite, subsite2.domain.com within the same network.

    Default export/import doesn’t clone the site over. Migration plugins only allow copying the whole multisite network to migrate to a different root domain or package subsite into a standalone site. There is no subsite to subsite clone tool anywhere that I can find, the only tool that claims to do this in the whole world happens to be NS Cloner Pro and hence they have priced outrageously high since this feature has mysteriously eluded other plugin developers, and apparently they have no competition.

    So copying over theme/plugin configurations and snippets manually is going to be tedious and could result in human error. So, that’s not ideal.

    I understand the issue at hand. If none of the plugins work, you might do that or get someone to code a plugin.

    There’s also this one:
