Cloning from mapped domain

Hey guys quick question about your cloner plugin. I’m just confirming that if I were to clone a mapped subdomain to create a brand new subdomain this won’t create any issues?

I ran a test and it seemed that the mapped domain didn’t get pulled over to the newly cloned subdomain, but I wasn’t sure if there were any other potential issues with that?

In other words is it better to clone from a subdomain rather than a mapped subdomain, or does it make no difference?

    Hi Jeff, hope you had a wonderful day.

    In my understanding, I’ll suggest you to map from subdomain instead of a mapped subdomain and then map again. Mapped subdomains should work, but I can’t make sure that it will always work because I don’t know what plugins and features are being used on those subsites. There might be complex function, feature which may extensively use mapped domain, so in that case, chances are there that cloning will not be perfect.

    Moreover, when a domain is mapped to any subsite, depending on configuration, it may take precedence over subsite settings in URL and other places, so cloning this might mess up the config for cloned subsite.

    What do you think?

    Have a nice day. Cheers!
