The Site Cloning feature enables you to swiftly duplicate existing WordPress sites, including all content, configurations, themes, and plugins. This guide walks you through the step-by-step process to leverage this functionality, ensuring efficient replication while preserving original settings. Ideal for Agency Owners, Users, and Account Users within the same sub-account. This cloning capability ensures each cloned site is independent, offering flexibility without affecting the original site.
Step 1: Navigate to WordPress Dashboard
Access the WordPress Dashboard.
Go to your ENABLE account and navigate to the WordPress section.
Click on Create New or Select Blank WordPress.
[Note: Ensure you have the appropriate role-based permissions (Agency Owner, Agency User, or Account User) to view the cloning option.]
Step 2: Initiate the Site Cloning Process
Locate the Clone using Existing Site option or Incomplete Setup Card.
Click on the Incomplete Setup Card.
Choose the option "Choose From Existing Site".
[Tip: If the cloning option is not visible, it may be due to insufficient user permissions.]
Step 3: Select Source Site and Configure Clone
Select Sub-Account & Source Site.
From the dropdown menu, select the Sub-Account.
Choose the Source Site you want to clone.
Enter New Site Details.
Provide a name for your new cloned site in the New Website Name field.
Click on the Clone button to start the process.
[Note:
Users can monitor the progress with real-time indicators that show cloning status.
If permissions do not align with cloning requirements, the system will default to the standard new site creation flow.]
Step 4: Review & Finalize
Access Your Newly Cloned Site.
The cloned site will be fully independent from the original.
Any changes made to either site will not impact the other.
[Note:
You can manage your cloned sites just like any other WordPress site in your ENABLE dashboard.]
