How to clone a WordPress website to a new domain in the WP Squared dashboard

Cloning a WordPress website allows you to create a copy of an existing website and use it on a different domain within your WordPress hosting account. This is useful when you want to test changes, launch a similar website, or move your content to a new domain without having to rebuild the website from scratch.

With the WP Squared dashboard, you can clone your WordPress website to another domain in just a few steps. This guide shows you how to duplicate an existing WordPress website to a new domain using the WP Squared dashboard.

Note:
• The destination domain can be added to your WordPress hosting account before cloning. Click here for a guide on how to add a domain name to your WordPress hosting account.
• Cloning copies your website files, database, themes, plugins, and settings to the new domain.
• Changes made to the cloned website will not affect the original website.
• The cloning process may take a few minutes, depending on the size of your website.
• It is recommended to create a backup before cloning your website. Click here for a guide to backing up your WordPress website.

1. Upon reaching your WP Squared dashboard, click Manage Website next to the website you wish to clone.

2. In the top-right corner next to the website title, click Clone.

4. Done! Successfully cloning a WordPress website to the new domain will redirect you to your WP Squared dashboard, where the new domain will be added to your list of websites.
