Wordpress Cloner Theme and Plugin Installer?

smartsites · 10-28-2009, 01:06 PM

I'm wondering if there is a software that will allow me to clone a wordpress site, theme, settings and plugins.

Currently I setup the account in cpanel, then I install the blog with fantastico then I upload the theme and configure it, then I add the plugins and configure them.

I would like to be able to just upload something with all this already done which would allow me to install quicker.

Thanks,

Craig

There are 2 paid options I'm aware of.

Firepow (hosted/monthly fee) and WPManager DX (self-hosted/onetime).

There's also WPCloner.

WPCloner will do what you want. I use it myself. It sits on your server, and will clone any of your blogs, 100% clone, onto another blog. They don't even need to be on the same server.

To anyone reading this who is curious, no it won't let you clone any blog you don't own, so no blog stealing is happening

OR you could download the entire wordpress installation, and export the database using phpmyadmin (a tool in cpanel by default) and just upload the new files to your new desired location, import the database, then enter the database details in the wpconfig file.

I use the WPCloner tool because I won't then have to mess with anything technical, but the tradeoff is that it's quite expensive. So if you're not going to use it on enough blogs for it to be worth your while then this method will be your best option!

Another alternative is Edna M's WPManagerDx. I own it and played around with it a while back but honestly forgot about it until I saw this post. Like any solution it takes a while to get it set up with your templates and preferences but once set up it's a very efficient. You'll find it in the WSO forum.

Ah.. I see BlueSquares already posted about it...

Is WP Cloner the one around $99 for 500 installations? If so, that doesn't sound too expensive to me.

Here's the clincher for me. Does WP Cloner clone all the plugins AND their settings too? If it can do that, I'll buy it.

I just bought Desktop Wordpress Installer (yes, a PC app), and I really don't think it will clone plugin configurations. Heck, configuring a Worpress site AFTER it's installed is what takes so much time! It isn't the WP install.

Any feedback appreciated.
