Clone a Site

    Hi,

    I am planning to use UpDraftPlus to clone site A to site B. Both sites are hosted on the same server. Site A is for production and site B is for test purpose.

    I check the document at https://updraftplus.com/faqs/how-do-i-migrate-to-a-new-site-location/#press-restore and have two questions:

    1. If I copy the backuped files from site A to site B manually, then what is the usage of the migrator addon. It seems I do not need it to perform the migration at all.

    2. Is it possible to clone everthing, except for the user/password information? I mean to keep the login information in site B, instead of using those in site A.

    Hi,

    I hope you are well.

    1. Migrator add-on will automatically change all the old URL with the new URL.

    2. I’m afraid it is not possible, UpdraftPlus will overwrite everything when migrating a website to a new location.

    Hi,

    It seems there is a “Search and replace site location in the database” option in the restore process. Is the option available only when I install Migrator Add-on?

    Hi @chcw

    Apologies for the late reply.

    Yes, that is only available with the Migrator add-on or with the Premium version.

    Best Wishes,
    Bryle
