Duplicate sites, whats the best way?

Hi,

I have, or will have, about 6 sites all with a different subject. I want to use the same wordpress theme as I love it.
I want to copy the info across to the other sites to retain the format and then attend to the content.
Is there an easy way to do this rather than write the content from scratch each time.
Will I be penalized for having the same wordpress theme??

Many thanks

Chris

    Use Wordpress Twin - not an affiliate link.

    If you just want to copy the theme from site to site you can easily grab this via FTP by looking at your WP install. Once, there navigate to the wp content>themes section. You can simply copy this theme to your desktop and put it back on any new site you setup.

    If you want to move an entire site with the content and all to a new site the super simple way is to use BackupBuddy ($75-$150). In just a few simple clicks you could backup the main site and then run the migration/restore process to copy the entire site to a new domain of your choice. In this scenario everything would be an exact replica (theme, content, comments, etc).

    On your note about penalization, I don't think you will have any trouble duplicating the theme. The same Theme templates are installed on thousands of sites accross the web. However, duplicating the same content (pages or posts) could be a problem.
