Help with using WP Cloner

by murmel
13 replies
I try to set up WP Cloner from mass-automation. It is a server based script and me being unfamiliar with setting up and using this kind of scripts, am confused and frustrated.
The merchant does not give a user manual and their support is not able to give clear and easy to understand instructions.

So, I set it up somehow, but I cannot figure out, if I have done it correctly and how to use WP Cloner at all.

Can someone help me out of this misery, please?

    This is just my personal experience of WP-Cloner.

    I have used it more than a few times, and though it does work, it still doesn't do enough features to make it a "kick ass" wordpress copier.

    I make a lot of autoblogs and make good money from them, so I am contsnatly looking for an easy way to mass install wordpress.

    I found WP-Cloner to do 90%-95% of what is needed but never does it all..

    I have been using WPmanagerDX ( http://www.wpmanagerdx.com/ ), and found that to work much better.

    But it still not perfect so the hunt goes on for the perfect solution..

    Take care

      Hi Bruce!
      Thanks for replying. Do you know, if there was somewhere a manual on how to install it correctly and how to use it?

        There some information with the product.
        I am assuming you bought it, plus there some "stuff" on their website.

        Its not really detailed, but it does help.
        I just think there are certain limitations with WP that make these sorts of "copying" programs a lot more difficult than you think they should be..

      Bruce:

      How goes the hunt??

      I am also hunting, and have a list of possible candidates:

      1. WpManagerDX
      2. Wp-Hive
      3. VMB Virtual Multiblog
      4. WpController -- mid June 2010
      5. Wp 3.0 with multi-user - mid June 2010
      6. WP_OneInstall .... (Seems dead.)

      Any thoughts?

    @Bruce: Where exactly does WPMangerDX fall short? I'm looking at buying it to manage my own autoblogs.

    Thanks,
    Mike.

    I like wp desktop installer. Works on windows, Mac and linux. Desktop WordPress Mass Blog Installer & Manager Software for Windows/Mac/Linux

    they also have a feature to update plugins on multiple blogs. Very easy walk through wizard to install.

    Hope this helps.

      I'm sure I read somewhere on the forum that someone has a WSO on using free tools for this sort of thing.

      Thanks Robert..... do you know anything about how this software differs from WpManagerDX? I understand he is the same programmer for both.

    Well, it now looks like WpController is not coming out soon. I don't think the folks at BumbleSoft are very good at communicating. Or developing for that matter, since their sites are virtually dead now.

    Have you tried Wordpress 3 multiuser features?

      Shadow:

      well, I have not progressed much. Still unclear on the benefits or features that Hive or VMB offer over the plain WP3.0 multisite.

      WpManagerDX seems useful at a low price. WpController is delayed, with a new answer from the owners to expect more delays.

      What have you found?
