Clone an Existing WordPress Site

Cloning creates a brand-new, independent copy of a WordPress site, including its content, theme, plugins, and settings. It is the quickest way to launch a site that starts from a design you already like, or to spin up a copy for experiments.

What cloning gives you

• A full duplicate: pages, posts, media, active theme, installed plugins, and configuration come along.
• Independence: after the copy finishes, changes to one site never affect the other.
• Consistency: useful when several sites should share the same layout, plugins, and defaults.

Before you start

You need a user role that is allowed to create WordPress sites in your Vendi Today account. If you do not have the necessary access, you will only see the option to start a blank site. Ask an administrator to adjust your permissions if the clone option is missing.

Steps

1. Open Sites and click the WordPress tab.
2. Click + Create Site and choose the blank or new site route, or open an unfinished site card.
3. Select Choose From Existing Site.
4. Pick the account that holds the site you want to copy, then choose the Source Site.
5. Type a name in the New Website Name field.
6. Optionally choose a server location when asked.
7. Click Clone.
8. Watch the progress indicator until it finishes. The copy then appears in your WordPress list as its own site.

Troubleshooting

• No clone option: your role may not allow it; the setup falls back to creating a blank site.
• Progress seems stuck: refresh the page and check the status indicator. If it still does not move, contact support.

After cloning, remember to attach a domain and review settings such as search visibility, because the copy is a separate site.

Good to know: Clone a site to a new server region when you need to relocate it, since the region is fixed once a site is created.
