Hi Warriors, Can you suggest the best FREE / paid plugins for cloning a wordpress site to another server domain. I know this can be a hassle, and rather than pay someone on fiverr - don't really enjoy handing over passwords etc - there must be an easy way. I know there are two manual ways, and was wondering; if my images in posts are before or after a main paragraph, will that be preserved during moving to new domain? Thanks! |

I can also recommend backup creator. I had been using wptwin before, which worked well but was a bit slower as you had to upload via ftp. Both transfer the total wordpress site so all your settings will be intact. Fantastic time saver

You can use CPANEL backups with Wordpress, I've tried it a couple of times and it appears to work. I use Backup buddy myself and think it's brilliant apart from the fact you have to pay for upgrades. I've also just bought the one from Robert Plank which I'm going to try out as soon as I get 2 minutes ![]() All the best Jason |

I've used Backup and Move, which is free, and seems to do the job for me. WordPress › Backup and Move Plugin « WordPress Plugins I'm sure some of the paid plugins are worth the money with extra features, but the free Backup and Move does support cloning plugins, themes, settings, pages, posts, etc. |

That's all! No plugins needed. Can anything be even easier? |

It seems Manage WP has a very nice cloning feature which allows you to clone the site to a new site. You may want to have a look at Manage WP
