Quick and simple!

  • Having read how to use a different recommended package, and failed to understand half of the information, I thought I’d give WP Clone a try. I created a fresh WP installation, updated it to WP4.6, installed WP Clone, copied in the URL for the backup on the existing site, and three minutes later I had a brand new site. Exactly the same theme, content and settings as the development site, but in the intended new location. Simples!

    Be aware that you have to log on again when you’re asked by WP Clone to update permalinks, and that log-in has to be the one used on your old site, not the one given by any automated installer for the new site, as WP Clone will have cloned and updated the user list.

    And of course you have to remove the default themes, sample page, and post that any new WordPress installation creates.
