Request: google drive and user accounts

  • Im using WP Clone as a means to distribute a boilerplate website to a group of students so they have a template to start with.

    A couple of updates to the plugin would be really useful:
    1) be able to restore from a google drive URL for the zip file (currently a google drive link causes an error on restore)
    2) be able to exclude user accounts from the backup and restore (currently we create a generic account on the template site and tell the students the password so they can log in and recreate their own account)

    Thanks for considering these.

  • Hello @jjlash,
    Thanks for your your feature request.

    Actually we are working on more sophisticated version of this plugin that will be released soon. In the new release, your point # 1 feature will be available. Besides Google Drive, you can work with several third party storage provider as well.

    Point # 2: It’s out of our plugin scope. We can’t deal with creating or managing user account.

    You can also participate to our crowdfunding effort to make it successful and we can bring the new revived version pretty soon in the market. To participate, please go https://sellcodes.com/q1OGuSox and learn more details.

    Thank you.

    Thanks @wpclonesupport
    You say that creating or managing user accounts is out of the scope of your plugin. I understand that – however, your plugin does in fact create user accounts via the SQL script which removes the existing user table, creates a new user table and adds the accounts from the source site.

    Maybe creating the SQL script during backup is an external operation and not something you control. But if the plugin directs the process which backs up the user table then maybe there is a means to simply not include that table when creating the SQL script.

    By simply excluding user accounts from the backup/restore, we can have our users create their own account during setup and know that it will not be removed by the restore process.

    At any rate, thank you for considering the request.
