I was wondering...is it possible to duplicate a wordpress blog with all of the plugin settings. I need a dozen identical wordpress websites but I dont want to set up the plugins and preferences each time. The only thing that would change is the content. Would multisite work? Is there another way that works better?

Thanks so much in advance!

    The BackupBuddy plugin will also copy WP blogs,

      Backup Buddy won't work for multisite installs though, so I couldn't make use of it.

        The only real way to do this is to load up a Wordpress folder that has all the plugins and themes you want to use. Turn all the plugins on, and get the basic setting done. Don't add any posts or anything.

        Make sure your site map is configured, Askimet, Captcha setting, WP Mobile plugs, etc, etc, etc.

        Once you have the base structure set the way you want, then do this;
        1. Log in to your cpanel
        2. Go to your phpMyAdmin and log in
        3. Click the export tab at the top of the page
        4. Export the database raw (no settings changed from default)
        5. Upload all of the your saved Wordpress files into the new domain(s) via FTP (Filezilla/CyberDuck)
        6. Create new database for each domain in Cpanel
        7. Configure all of you wp-config.php files respectively
        8. In cpanel import your saved database in raw in the zipped form for each new domain
        9. Login to each blog and configure each
        Make sure all blogs get unique content

            Do what Turnkey advised. It's quite easy. I actually bought a wprobot3 blog a couple years ago off of flippa (before I realized how worthless wprobot3 was) for $50.

            Just export the database and ftp the files down. Then.. create your new blog, overwrite the database (use import this time) and wordpress files (use ftp) with these copies. Voila. I had about 15 plugins going and it took me a bout 15 minutes to completely build a new site. I built 12 new sites in about half a day and it was quite easy.
