  • @nitinkal You can either manually copy everything or you can use a plugin to help create a duplicate site. I use this particular plugin on a regular basis and it works like a charm. https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/duplicator/ However, you can also visit https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/ and search for keywords such as migration, backup or staging and see a list of plugins that will provide a similar function.

    @nitinkal take a copy of all files. Export a copy of your database. Then import your database and update wp-config.php with any changes to the username, password, and URL for accessing the database and add the following lines of code to update the site URL:

    define( 'WP_HOME', 'https://yourlocalurl.tld' );
define( 'WP_SITEURL', 'https://yourlocalurl.tld' );

/* That's all, stop editing! Happy publishing. */

    Can’t i use wordpress inbuilt tools?
    There is something called export under tools section which creates an xml file.
