[Cloner] Site cloner

Hi there, I’m looking for some advice and hope you can help.

I’m currently in the process of upgrading all our websites. This means migrating content between live and staging sites. As our sites are news based new content is going up on a regular basis. I’m wondering if the Cloner Plugin may provide an effective solution for moving content from live to staging easily so that I can switch keep the staging sites up to date until they’re ready to be pushed live.

I don’t currently use multisite though – is this a requisite and if so, would setting up multisite to facilitate staging/live/test environments be appropriate?

    Hello Alec

    Cloner plugin clones a subsite and creates a new subsite. So, if you overwrite an existing site, then if you already make any changes, that would be lost.

    If you just want to copy content from one subsite to another subsite, you may also try our Multisite Content Copier plugin: https://wpmudev.com/project/multisite-content-copier/

    With this plugin, you can copy specific content from one subsite to another subsite.

    Please note that, cloner and content copier both plugins are multisite compatible only. That means, these plugins work only from you clone or move content from one subsite to another.

    Have a nice day!

    Cheers,

    Ash
