Overview

Duplicating a WordPress site can involve more than copying its files. MainWP Clone Extension copies a site’s themes, plugins, settings, content, and media to a new location. It works with the MainWP Dashboard and Child plugins, giving site managers a way to handle cloning within their MainWP setup.

The extension suits agencies, developers, and site managers who need to reproduce a site for client work or manage multiple WordPress sites. Its cloning process can carry a site’s configuration and content into the copy. The tool is self-hosted and open source, so site data stays under the user’s control.

Features

  • Full site duplication: Copy a WordPress site’s themes, plugins, settings, content, and media to create a replica at a new location.
  • MainWP connection: Work with the MainWP Dashboard and Child plugins to manage site cloning from within the MainWP setup.
  • Clone policy settings: View and manage Clone policy settings through support for the WordPress Abilities API.
  • Checked site selection: Clone settings reject an invalid or unreadable site selection instead of saving a partial policy.
  • Protected settings saves: Settings saves guard against conflicting changes and report when a save cannot be completed.
  • Self-hosted and open source: Run the cloning tool as a self-hosted, open-source solution, with site data remaining under your control.

Best for

  • WordPress development agencies
  • Freelancers managing client sites
  • Site managers with multiple WordPress sites
