How to duplicate my site onto 5 subdomains

  • Hi,

    I am wanting to know if there is an easy way of duplicating my site onto 5 subdomains? It would be great if there was a step by step way.

    The reason I need to this is that I’m expanding my business and each country will have its own subdomain. I would like each subdomain to look identical to my current website (including all pages and settings,) so I can start translating what I need.

    I have decided to do it this way rather than using a plugin because I will be translating any text on images, the currency and prices will be different. There will also be different payment options and contact details.

    I hope somebody can help!!

    Thanks in advance ?

  • You can try a paid solution like backup buddy. Many people like this, but I had some issues.

    Otherwise you could just install WP and any plugins in each subdomain. Quite quick to do 5 times.

    Then using PHPadmin, copy the database across to each domain.

    Once you have done so, then execute the following using PHPmyadmin or your MySQL access tool

    UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = ‘https://subdomainname.domain.com’ WHERE option_name IN (‘siteurl’, ‘home’)

    obviously you change “subdomainname.domain.com” above to your particular site eg france.suprseller.com.

    Then using FTP download the “uploads” folder (web/wp-contents/uploads) and any subfolders to your PC and then FTP it back to each subdomain.

    Then using Velvet blues plugin, change the url of all the pages and attcahments.

    Quite quick to do, and how I move my site around.

    This should bring across all settings including plugins, all images and all pages/data.
