Thank you so much!! We paid an agency hundreds of dollars and they made a total mess of of the duplicated sites - only to find out it was this simple to begin with and something we are completely comfortable to do on our own. Thank you!

My website is bigger than 256mb so it is asking to upgrade the pluging to unlimited... Any other option? ... thanks

exactly what I was looking for, thanks

Such a well explained system for us Techno-phobes ... Have been watching other cloning video's that lost me after a couple of mins ... This made everything Soooo simple - Cheers ... Another Subscriber 😄

Hello thanks for the straightforward explanation... This is my sceneria I have a web store in one country and i am starting another in another country. (With slightly different doman) I just want to basically copy and paste the original website on the new domain then locolise the Content and the product.. So the original website remains and the new one runs with its own different domain name

Thank you very very much!

Hi, Thank you for this very interesting video 👍. I have a question regarding redirection. I want to change my domain name but keep the content of my old domain name. What should I do to maintain my Google ranking knowing that I still have the same hosting plan but with a new domain name. Should I still use "simple website redirect" on my website? Thank you very much

On the new website are the linkages updated to reflect the new url and any other updates needed?

nice video, thanks a lot

Should you reinstall themes plugins before migration if the domain 1website used design plugins?..and other plugins? Working on elementor?

Does the website you are importing it too have to be completely blank or will it override what you have? Because I tried it and it said the file was corrupted

Perfect! What if I copy a subdomain website into a new host and delete the subdomain in the old host after copying, will it affect the new website copied?

and what can be done if we want two identical WordPress to work with the same database and changes on one domain are reflected on the other. how can this be done? would be very grateful for advice. Thank you.

I tried this, but I am coming up with file upload size limits, have you ever had this issue and if so, did you resolve it? My Hosting Tech support are of no use whatsoever.

Hi! Thank you for the video. Quick question. Is it possible to duplicate the website to a not live domain, then change all the articles on that duplicated Wordpress domain to keep the format but have a new content?

I used this plugin but i think there’s something wrong with my new domain because it’s not showing on my pc the default version of the theme although i uploaded the theme i want with all the customization

Hey buddy. Great content as usual thanks. Any idea how to clone a site and translate it on a new domain automatically? Like if I have a german site and I want to clone it and translate it to english? Like I don’t want to have both or multilingual on the new one, just english. Thanks

Hello, I have a question. As I'm ranking with over 200 keywords into Googe with old domain. Now if I change my domain, how can I redirect all the article URLs, media URLs, and picture URLs to the new domain with ith same permalink from the old one?

I can't access my WP dashboard in my old domain bc my provider has shutdown without any notification (Freenom) and I want to use a new domain name I've just bought but I don't know how bc most tutorials and info I search use plugins and I only have access to the host via FTP address. I just want to change the domain without moving the host but I'm able to move the web files to a host of the same domain provider if this is the easiest way, how can I make it?

Hey, really easy to follow video! However, I have one question: If I decide to stop hosting and paying for the domain on my old website, will the redirect still work?

Yes, if that's the case then no, it won't work. Instead, go to where your domain is hosted and add a redirect at the domain level. That will redirect again!

Excellent video! I have a current website and i want to make a subdomain as the target duplicate website. Will this work?

Hi I am really interested in learning web development. do you offer any online courses?

Thanks for useful video. I want use this method for second language website. Can it work? I'll change every words and URLs.

In this method are we gonna lose our past traffic history? I mean do i need to set up new google site kit and search console? I also want to know what will happen to the old website after migration? Is it useless now?

Your content is always well done thanks. But, I want to keep both websites active and in their own domains. I just want to make some minor differences between them. And I can do this after the migration. Can this be accomplished? Do I simply do not use the re-direct plugin? Will Google treat this like spam? Thanks.

Yes, eventually when Google indexes the new domain with the duplicated content, it will be marked as duplicate content. But, you have a bit of time in between. But to answer your question, yes! Just skip the redirection part and you're good to go.

You need to login into the wordpress so the plugin could download the backup file. So you cannot clone the website that you don't own using this plugin.

Hi, what happens if you start the import and it just gets stuck at 94% what would you recommend?

I recently used this process to migrate both websites to a different domain. I have not done the steps to update database because I do not want the websites live yet. Do I need to do this next step to make the sites live?

If I clone the page, can I edit the new page to a different brand and keep both the websites for two separate websites/companies?

can i take the backup from my hosting and upload while iam not able to access to my old website

Sadly my copy is over 600mb, the plugin limits at 128mb. I had my host increase the upload to 2gb like the plugin said to do or buy unlimited. Host made changes, still, the plugin blocking the upload since the plugin itself is blocking anything over 128mb. Any suggestions other than paying for unlimited?

Same here.

If we clone the WordPress eCommerce website(created for domestic purchase) to a subdomain (created for international purchase), does google consider this as spam?

You can upload the exported file to the backup folder of ai1wm using file manager / ftp. You will find this sub-folder in wp-content folder. The you need to install an older version of plugin that supported free restore from backup (new one made it paid). Then you can simply restore the backup.

My upload gets stuck at 13.57%. I've stopped and re-tried a few times, it keeps hanging there. Is it maybe because I already had some pages created on the new domain?

it has bad reviews, it gets stuck on uploads

Will this process affect the old website

Very good video, very informative!!! Thank you for sharing this knowledge. I have one question: After the site is installed in the new domain, how can I gain some time and prevent google to index it (and classified it as duplicate). Can I put a password on it? Shall I edit the robots file to prevent crawling? The thing is, I want to keep the “Old” website live and want to work in the new till is ready, and then make the redirect. I Hope you can help. Thank you in advance!

Solution: I uploaded the backup file to my file manager under "wp-content/ai1wm-backups". Then I deleted the plugin and uploaded an old version of the plugin (ver6.77). Then I restored the backup file. Done!

I tried using their app limit to 64mb even if the site is smaller 62mb it found import keeps saying maximum upload size for this site: 64 MB

Look up an older version if your website is bigger, the limits were more generous back then. If your website is massive, some people have used version 6.7 which apparently is easy to make unlimited.

It feels like it's going to take forever, but you need to do its thing. Make sure you have a fast internet speed because sometimes the delay can slow it down. Failing that, a little trick is to google All In One WordPress 6.70 and download an old version of the plugin, then go into your hosting panel file manager, upload your .wpress file into the folder /wp-content/ai1wm-backups/ then go to All-in-one Migration > backups, then click on restore on the file you've added. That will work for me if the other method doesn't. Hope that helps!

Just give it some time, sometimes it can take a little while when installing the site. If it hasn't worked in say 10 minutes, then you could always delete the WordPress install, create a fresh one and repeat the steps. It happens every now and then but should work 2nd time around. Hope that helps!
