    I want to import all the modified CSS and PHP files, plugins, preferences etc from one blog to another. Everything except the content. Is there a one click solution?

  • Do you have FTP access to the server where the files you want to use are stored? If so just FTP to it and copy the files down to your PC/Mac and then FTP them up to your web host server in your theme.

    If you don’t have FTP access then you won’t be able to ‘copy’ the files because they are PHP files and all you see on the website is the result of the PHP requests within the actual page itself.

    ok – I also have unix shell access – can I just cp them on a unix command line?

    Assuming you have access to the subdirectory where the other copy of WordPress is installed, then yes cp would work. You will then want to edit wp-config.php to reflect your database details.
