You legitimately saved my life. I was scrambling through a million different videos and support sites and NO ONE could help me. This worked perfectly. Thank you so so much.
You are my new hero! I have been watching all of these ridiculously long and complex videos on cloning a website and this was simple and easy... thank you! I subbed
IMPORTANT : grate video but miss two very important things : 1)once you import your website , Wordpress will close you out , to enter again you have to use the login of the donor site (you mention but audio is not clear) ; 2) once you "re-login" with donor site credential , than you have to go to users , create a new user , logout , login with new user and cancel donor old user , after that is good to go , problems come from SEO perspective
We want to share our feedback about your WordPress plugin that was designed for website cloning, migration, and backup. We must say, it is an incredible tool that has saved us a lot of time and effort. The plugin's ability to change the domain during the cloning process is a standout feature that has simplified the website migration process for us. We found the plugin to be extremely reliable and efficient, allowing us to clone our website seamlessly without any issues. Your plugin has exceeded our expectations, and we are extremely satisfied with the results it has provided us. We are confident that it will help many other users who are searching for a reliable and user-friendly way to manage their website. Thank you for creating such a useful and effective plugin, and we look forward to using it for our future website needs.
What do you mean by "change the domain" please? I want to clone a website as in the video but there are no other steps after cloning it . What do we do after? Do we need to do any modifications in the database? Thanks
Thank you, thank you. To create a website from the scratch is very complicated but with this tutorial I can upload any website and edited and create my own Thanks a lot
what about the background data of the site? codes/snippets etc? also, when cloning should i see the old plugins in the left tabs under "plugins" are are they just still implanted in the site but not downloaded to the 2nd WordPress account?
Wow, thanks dude. Just what I was looking for. Great video and it worked like a charm. It split the backup into 3 parts and all I did was uploaded them all together and it created 1 file for restore.
I have two domains and I have fully created 1 website and other domain is empty can I use this cloning so that I don’t have to work again and create all the whole website for second one.also After cloning can we change the login credentials as both the domains and businessesa are different but are under same hosting
I want to use a clone of my current site as a starter template for a second site with a completely different domain name. Is there a video to show me how to clone to a new domain to end up with two different websites, both the original and the new? I don't know if I should copy with or without the database, as all the reference would have to changed. Could anyone direct me to instructions? . Thanks!
@@RowlandAgacheta My reply keeps disappearing... but yes, I was able to do it with Siteground's Migrator too. It copies the site to the new domain and updates the database references all at once.
I really enjoyed this video. I'm having a website made for a particular country. Travel related. So in theory, couldn't I clone the website put it on a different URL, and just reconfigure everything for a second country? That way all the settings would look identical and uniform. Thanks in advance
Great tutorial! So, i like (and use) the Astra theme, but the client site that i'm working with and downloading does NOT use the Astra theme. For me to have an accurate copy of the client site, do i need to begin with a blank slate site using the same theme as my client site?
Thank you, everything worked exactly how you explained. Except after I finished, I go to the new domain and it's still switches over to showing the old domain! I can't believe this, any idea what setting is wrong? And yes, I went to general settings and the URL is what it's supposed to be even though it's forwarding still to the old one. Any thoughts or advice would be much appreciated!
Thank you so much for the tutorial! I have a question tho.. When I download my backup it downloads two parts and one of them is corrupt so it doesn't work. Do you know what is happening or how to prevent it from happening. Let me know!!
Can you make a backup of two websites? I am making a re-design of a clients webshop. Say i want to keep the original, and then make a new webshop for the redesign (with a new template). Can I take a backup of the new webshop too, then? And have both versions saved?
Hi there. I am very new to websites. Could you please explain more how to get to new SSO WordPress. I have stuck at 3.52 minutes of your video at the stage where you are showing new, blank WordPress to copy our downloaded. How did you get the new, blank one, please? Your help would be gratefully appreciated.
Amazing video dude! This was exactly what I was looking for. Quick question for ya. My site has quite a lot of photos on it so when downloading the back up it has created 5 files to download. Would I be bale to upload all 5 of these files in the future if I needed to restore or test somewhere else? Thanks for the help so far!
can you use this process to create a BluePrint Site that is blank but with all the plugins and settings that you may use to start a site so you do not have to repeat the setup with each new site?
Hi, I am trying to follow the same steps to update the design of my current website. I have a question. How did you create the second Wordpress website? Does it have to be a completely new website? Also, how will I transfer the new design back to my original website? Thanks a lot in advance for your help!
Can i use this method when i create multible new Websites so it becomes kind of a template for all my websites? And is the copyright fine With that, although it’s my website? Just want to be sure😁
hello, a lot of things worked really well but... On the new cloned website, under Settings the dates and the logo cannot be changed. An error message appears "Api Code". The new API code also does not have the option to save these settings. how can I fix this? 
Nothing happened when the restore was finished. I followed all the steps. Also it didnt let me log in with the old websites information as you Said in the end. What is the problem?
Once you cloned you mentioned you had to use the credentials of the first website. Do the two websites still act as completely different entities, they both just have the same username and password?
Good video though in my case the plugin gets stuck at 66% and breaks the (fresh) wordpress install. My situation isn't normal though since I am trying to replace a 10+ year old theme that doesn't fully work on the latest version of WP, so the clone also rolls back to an earlier version of wordpress from maybe a year ago. Anyway something in this situation makes the plugin get stuck and breaks the wordpress install so I will find another solution, but saving this plugin for the future since it looks useful.
If I wanted to sell a template or copy a template how do I do that? I want someone else to restore my backup but I don't want to share my personal data or plugin info etc.
On tutorial you have already set up a wordpress site. So that means that you have established wordpress and created a new database that is connected. If so, do we have to set specific name to that database? What about if we use an addon domain at same server (control panel)?
Initially, my clone last night was a trainwreck. Then as hours past, parts of the original site started to populate in the clone. But, overall, still a wreck...When I woke up the clone was successful. It took HOURS to clone! Is this normal, or due to the clone having pre-existing pages that needed to be overwritten?
Does this work with woo commerce i've attempted to do this and it just stays on 66% and I wasn't sure if it froze or was still uploading? (When i hit the restore button)
How can I make it so that I have Multiple Wordpress Logins and not just 1? I am trying to create Clones, but all with different Domains and own Personal Wordpress back Office. Is this Possible? Thank you
Hello, may be you can help me : When I restore my file zip, this is stopping at 66% and never finish. Then it's blocking me totally my website, do you have a solution for this?
Would this work if I’m trying to clone the website for a new location? Which means I would have to pretty much change all of the current city information that the first website has to the new location once the cloning process has taken place. If that would work, that would be so much more simple.
How can I create a new instance? I downloaded the site zip file, but cant find ANYWHERE on how to copy those zip files into the new instance. WP doesn't let me create a new website from the admin menu of my paid account and if I create a new wp account I can't install the plugin since it's a premium feature.. how do I do it? please anyone help me if u can..
I wonder if you can help me, I have at the top of my screen "Edit with elementor" and I don't know how to get it off of my screen, it'd driving me mad and I cant us my website till it's gone. please help, Steve UK
So we have a website now with one domain which we want to keep, we then want to clone it to a new domain and then keep both. But both separate, so is this possible? What about when we want to make changes to one site? But not the other site, won't it change both if I am logging into the same wordpress? Thank you very much,
It's possible to have 2 identical websites on 2 different domains but: - you will have to edit content individually - this won't be ideal for SEO A better alternative could be to just redirect domainB to domainA. This way: - you only edit the content on domainA - when people try to access domainB, they are redirected to domainA
THANKS! You're a life savior! Simple and easy and better than 90% of guides on youtube
Glad to hear! Danel 🙂

This was such a better way for me to duplicate my site vs trying other more complex methods. Thanks for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you, thank you. To create a website from the scratch is very complicated but with this tutorial I can upload any website and edited and create my own Thanks a lot
You're welcome :)

Very nice, direct to the point without any drama ! 🤩
Glad you liked it!
You made this class super easy to understand and to follow. Thank you. I have subscribed to your channel, so I can learn more and easily!
Thank you!
It was normal stuff, not cloning , tell how to clone competitors website
Excellent video. Thank you so much. Well produced, to the point, well spoken. Fantastic!
Happy to hear you liked the video Larry! Your feedback is much appreciated 😁
Amazingly easy! Thank you! Like your cloning funny hook at the beginning. 😂
Glad you liked it!
Wow thanks. My favorite word press channel
Wow, thanks!
I backed it up for downloading and got 3 files downloaded instead of only one, what to do in this case?
Excellent tutorial. Worked flawlessly and easily.
Great to hear!
This was wonderful, man. Straight to the point and clear. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
what about the background data of the site? codes/snippets etc? also, when cloning should i see the old plugins in the left tabs under "plugins" are are they just still implanted in the site but not downloaded to the 2nd WordPress account?
Definitely works. But on mine it left behind all of the plugins.
What can I do resolve this issue?
Basically, if you take backup using the Database + Files (WordPress Files) option, all the plugins get restored on another site perfectly.
Wow, thanks dude. Just what I was looking for. Great video and it worked like a charm. It split the backup into 3 parts and all I did was uploaded them all together and it created 1 file for restore.
You are welcome and glad to hear about your experience.
Fantastic video, super simple to follow and extremely clear instructions! Thank you so much man ❤

Yes you Can
so helpful, straight to the point!
Great tutorial, Question: When I made the back up it created 5 separate Zip files. are all of the required to make a proper clone of my site? Thanks.
I have the same question. In my case it made 60 separated files. Have you figured it out?

Thanks for the guide, the site looks fine only on the home page, when moving to other pages I get a 404 error, what could be the reason?
I really enjoyed this video. I'm having a website made for a particular country. Travel related. So in theory, couldn't I clone the website put it on a different URL, and just reconfigure everything for a second country? That way all the settings would look identical and uniform. Thanks in advance
I am having the exact same problem...does this video solve it for you...have you solved it.. kindly get back

Fantastic video, loved the opening scene, gave me a chuckle, was well done :)
Thanks Gaye :)
I loooooove this tutorial! Super useful!
how did he get to that second website? Did he have to pay for another domian to run the backup?
New hosting and install wordpress. Same as you did with the first website.
Great, well - structured video. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you, everything worked exactly how you explained. Except after I finished, I go to the new domain and it's still switches over to showing the old domain!

Hi I have one question while backup if we have 3 files like part 1, part2, part3. In this case we need to download all three and upload all

Can i use this to make a copy of a website of mine after it has expired , but i have downloaded the backup files before expiring of it .
Yes, indeed you can do it.
Thank You man ❤
Happy to help
So, is the database that is being used the same or it is different
can i change logo and mediato make it looks like new website is this will effect the effincey of the new website?
Nothing happened when the restore was finished. I followed all the steps. Also it didnt let me log in with the old websites information as you Said in the end. What is the problem?
It didn't restore anything for me either. Did you manage to solve the issue?

Thank you!
Very nice video. Please why did my image files fail to upload?
May I ask, if I m going yo use Elemento as my page builder, and using Astra as my theme, is it necessary to pay for Astra pro ?
Yes, you can use Elementor as your page builder and it's not necessary to pay.
On tutorial you have already set up a wordpress site. So that means that you have established wordpress and created a new database that is connected. If so, do we have to set specific name to that database? What about if we use an addon domain at same server (control panel)?
Yes, the database name should be unique and shouldn't match either other.
Thank YOU, You saved my life
You are welcome and glad to hear that.

How to disable pinch zoom-in in mobile of our wordpress website ??
My website can be zoom-in when in pinch i want to disable that
EVERY THING WAS AWESOME ????????? Except one thing what is the file size this plugin allow ? any body try or no know please REPLY !!!!!!!!!! Thanks
Does this work with woo commerce i've attempted to do this and it just stays on 66% and I wasn't sure if it froze or was still uploading? (When i hit the restore button)
you are the best bro
ok but you can also do this in softaculous wordpress manager, no need for more plugins if that comes native in your cpanel
Sure, good remark, but that being said, not all web hosting packages include Cpanel / Softaculous.
Why did you create a new account for the website, couldn’t you just add new site on the same account?
you are genius
How can I make it so that I have Multiple Wordpress Logins and not just 1? I am trying to create Clones, but all with different Domains and own Personal Wordpress back Office. Is this Possible? Thank you

So we have a website now with one domain which we want to keep, we then want to clone it to a new domain and then keep both. But both separate, so is this possible? What about when we want to make changes to one site? But not the other site, won't it change both if I am logging into the same wordpress?
Thank you very much,
It's possible to have 2 identical websites on 2 different domains but:
- you will have to edit content individually
- this won't be ideal for SEO
A better alternative could be to just redirect domainB to domainA.
This way:
- you only edit the content on domainA
- when people try to access domainB, they are redirected to domainA
