The migration process is highly reliable and is proven to migrate bigger sites without any errors. ### Why WP Duplicate? **Simplest Cloning Tool** Just install the WP Duplicate plugin on the destination site and the live site and start syncing, no need to enter FTP details. **Incremental Cloning** Only the changed files are cloned from the source site to the destination site. So the cloning process is faster. **Load Images From Live Site** With WP Duplicate you can directly load the images of Live site, so that you do not need to copy media files which will save a lot of time during the cloning process. **Clone Live Site To Local Computer** With WP Duplicate you can clone any production site to your Local Computer (MAMP, LAMP, XAMP, etc..). ## Screenshots * [[ * Duplicate Site settings page. ## Installation 1. Spin off a WP site on the destination server. 2. Install and activate the “WP Duplicate Plugin” on the WP site created as mentioned above. 3. Go to “WP admin dashboard -> WP Duplicate” and select “This is duplicate site” button. 4. Install and activate “WP Duplicate Plugin” on the live WP site. 5. Go to “WP admin dashboard -> WP Duplicate” and select “This is prod site” button. 6. Login with your WP Duplicate account (created on https://localsync.infinitewp. com) on the live WP site. 7. Copy the prod key and go to the “WP admin dashboard -> WP Duplicate” on the local WP site. 8. Paste the prod key, and Add Site. 9. Now you are ready to copy the live site to the duplicate site. ## FAQ ### Can I clone the site to the local Computer?

The account creation function doesn’t work, so you therefore can’t use the plugin. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/f439c5308d0099a52f135fd9a8ebab4393b92ba9e58c952a798349aa97b8e87c? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Wonderful Plugin that saves a lot of work, very dedicated Developer!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wonderful-plugin-that-saves-a-lot-of-work-very-dedicated-developer/)󠁿 [angiemon](https://profiles.wordpress.org/angiemon/) Ogwomwenda (Mutunda) 27, 2023 1 reply This saved me a ton of work and was very easy to use – first I had problems due to a bug but the dev reached out to me and upladed the patch within an hour – and all that for free, what more do you want? 🙂 Recommend!All sites, wiki, pictures copied with new URLs attached – thanks WP Duplicate!! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b7b9d3efc06cb085c7e10c36cacd6b29a615e41cc197a9c3463965cd6a93968d? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great Tool every dev should have](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-tool-every-dev-should-have/)󠁿 [Francesco](https://profiles.wordpress.org/seventhose/) Ogwomunaana (Muwakanya) 4, 2022 Last update 1 year ago… Ok they still seem to care to this plugin ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/bfcf3093cace7e724ea8a43c3a31780c42641b3c5e608fb945d8476f22c48cd1? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Can’t wait for this plugin to fully developed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-wait-for-this-plugin-to-fully-developed/)󠁿 [Aguilar1181](https://profiles.wordpress.org/aguilar1181/) Kasambula 11, 2022 I have been using this plugin on a couple of projects, and it works as expected.
