WP Site Cloner Pro

Reuse a prepared WordPress site

WP Site Cloner Pro extends NS Cloner for site duplication beyond copying a subsite within one WordPress Multisite network. A configured site can be a starting point for staging, testing, or regional, client, member, school, chapter, and affiliate websites. The right cloning route depends on the source: Single Site clones standard WordPress websites, while Teleport can clone a subsite to a remote network or move an entire Multisite network.

What a local Multisite clone can include

For existing Multisite sites, NS Cloner can copy posts, pages, custom post types, taxonomies, comments, uploaded media, menus, widgets, theme options, extension settings, and WordPress options. It updates URLs and other background references so the destination is configured as a separate copy. The cloning process works with both subdomain and subdirectory Multisite networks.

These copy details describe the existing Multisite workflow. For standard sites, use the Single Site capability; for remote work, choose Teleport. WP Site Cloner Pro also offers separate controls for deciding what reaches a destination.

Choose what reaches the destination

• Search & Replace runs custom replacement operations on cloned content. Set rules when copied references need to match the new site or environment.
• Table Manager lets you choose which database tables are cloned.
• Users Cloning lets you clone users and permissions or make new users for cloned sites.
• Presets save common cloning settings for repeatable workflows.
• The WP-CLI Addon supports copying sites from the command line.

Run and review a clone

1. Prepare the source site with the content, settings, media, and configuration you want to reuse.
2. Choose a cloning method, such as single-site, Multisite, remote, or WP-CLI cloning.
3. Select any search and replace rules, database tables, user options, or saved preset settings.
4. Start the clone and review the resulting site and its updated references.

For local Multisite cloning, begin in Network Admin by selecting the source subsite, entering the new site URL and title, then starting the clone. The process runs in the background with live progress and can continue if you close the browser tab. Logging and validation functions help with troubleshooting and preemptive issue detection.

Install in the WordPress environment you manage
