Save hours upon hours by effortlessly copying and moving WordPress sites. Copies everything: posts, pages, settings, widgets, you name it.
You have important things to do… Don’t spend valuable time on site transfer or duplication tasks that could be automated.
The WP Cloner specializes in providing fast, powerful cloning within WP multisite networks – to new sites or over existing sites. But it also offers single site cloning, including copying a network subsite to a separate single site and vice versa.
In Teleport mode, you can easily and securely transfer sites between multisite networks on different servers, or even migrate a whole network over to a new server. WP Cloner will copy everything in the WordPress database, and can also copy theme and plugin files for you via FTP.
With WP Cloner you have access to a variety of settings for precise selective cloning. You can turn media cloning on or off, control exactly which database tables are cloned, and select which post types are copied when replacing one site with another one.
When cloning users, you can copy just the current user or all existing users complete with their roles and metadata, with robust logic for handling the complexities of multisite and single site user schema differences. You’ll also be able to instantly create new admin users for cloned sites, in order to hand them off to someone else.
In addition to performing automatic, serialized-safe smart URL replacements on all site content, Cloner gives you the ability to add an unlimited number of custom search and replace values. You can run WP Cloner in search and replace mode on an existing site, or perform replacements on the fly while cloning to a new site.
With frontend cloning, you can set up template sites for new users to choose between when registering for a blog/site on your network, as well as custom fields for them to provide their own values for placeholders in the template site content. Their new site will automatically be set up with all content and settings cloned from the selected template site, and populated with their personalized values replacing the placeholders.
Each time you use WP Cloner, you have the option to save all your settings in a named preset. You’ll be able to instantly load all the configuration for commonly repeated operations in one click.
The Cloner runs via a series of robust background processes, so you can clone large sites without running into timeout errors, and you can close your tab without interrupting cloning, or stay and watch the progress live.
We built the Cloner to be a power tool, with WP-CLI support, extensive debug logging, a large number of actions and filters, and a robust add-on architecture for creating new modes, options and functionality.

OMG – If Only I Found This Earlier!!
This plugin blew my mind.
It’s just stupid – ONE CLICK and my whole woocommerce store was copied in a new subsite with all the plugins set up the right way, products and pages with links updated AND orders data saved!
A few months ago I did the same process manually. Took me one week to go through all the plugins and found that none would do the job at once but I had to use multiple ones: duplicator, woocommerce import/export, plus exporting third party plugins’ config manually etc. Took me several days to complete the job I got done with 2.45 min with this one plugin...

WP Cloner copies everything you need to have a totally identical twin site: all media uploads, posts, pages, custom post types, taxonomies, comments, menus, WordPress options, theme and plugin settings (including which ones are active), users, roles, etc.
Theme and plugin files themselves are the only thing not copied by the Cloner. For cloning inside a multisite network, that’s not even needed, and for cloning to a remote site, you’ll just need to quickly transfer those via FTP. Then the Cloner will handle all the tricky database stuff for you.
Here’s what you can do:
Here are a few limitations:
Yes — WP Cloner used to be called NS Cloner (NS stands for Never Settle, our company name) but we’ve rebranded to WP Cloner to be more straightforward and recognizable. They’re the exact same plugin, and you’ll still see some references to “NS Cloner” in reviews, in the directory name of both the free and pro versions of the plugin, etc.
Yes, and you get them all for one low price! We previously offered the different components of functionality in WP Cloner as separate add-ons that could be purchased individually.
Now, you don’t have to buy add-ons anymore – all of the add-ons that you may have seen previously (Search and Replace, Table Manager, etc) plus a whole bunch of brand new features are all bundled up in this one Pro plugin.
WP Cloner has several things going for it that differentiate it from other plugins available:
The free version of WP Cloner available on wordpress.org fully copies individual subsites to new subsites within a WP multisite network.
See our pro features page for more detail, but some of the extra things that come in Pro are:
An install is activating the plugin on one instance of WordPress , so you could use the Cloner for a multisite network with unlimited sites in it, and that would count as just one install (not a bad deal!). If you were to connect it to a second network or single site to clone remotely, that would be count as two installs.
We do not believe in handicapping functionality based on license activation, so the plugin will function without one, but sites must have an active license to be entitled to plugin updates or support.
If you have feedback on how we can improve, or ideas/requests for features, we’d be happy to hear from you at support@neversettle.it. Of course, we can’t make any guarantees — many feature requests wouldn’t be popular enough to justify the cost in custom development. But we’re regularly reviewing and working to build towards what will be most valuable and helpful for our users, so your feedback is welcome and appreciated!
With WP Cloner you can copy any WordPress site, simply:
You can do full-site search and replace with the WP Cloner in two ways – on a new cloned site (in Standard Clone mode), or on an existing site (in Search Replace mode). To search and replace on an existing site, all you need to do is:
WP Cloner will copy everything in the source site, so just set up your template site exactly like you want copied sites to be. You can include common shared items like menus, plugin settings, etc and leave out any unique content that you don’t want to be included in all future copies.
Then, install WP Cloner and you’ll be able to instantly create unlimited copies of your template site, and adjust each one independently.
WP Cloner will pay for itself the first time you use it!
Don’t spend valuable time on site transfer or duplication tasks that could be automated. Let WP Cloner do all the work.
