WHAT WERE TRYING TO COPY: We recently developed a
universal wordpress site for our small business. We basically created a
site that has over 50 custom themes to choose from (we designed
and programmed the themes), created a dynamic page so it's easy to update (header,
logo, phone number, sidebar, menu, etc, etc all from one page), all the plugins we constantly use, and
the standard set up we always use (two columns, certain widgets, admin pre-configured, etc).
OUR GOAL: We want to use our master site (lets
call it Domain.com and duplicate it for all of our customers
(johndoe.com, janedoe.com, smallbusiness.com, photographer.com, etc). after we clone the site and upload it to the new domain, we'll then customize it for our new customer (content, phone #, logo, menu, etc)
WHY WE DEVELOPED THIS: So we could quickly create simple sites for our clients that were customizable. We also needed the set up to be the same for each one.
QUESTOINS: Will this plugin work with what we are trying to accomplish. I've played around with it and done some searches but I'm a little confused with how to set this up.
ADMIN: I am willing to pay for support if you can walk me through the process. However, I would rather speak to someone on the phone who could walk me through it step by step as this is crucial to our business.

Hi there, yes, XCloner will do just this, first you install it on the main site and create a full backup of it, then restore it to any other site as specified in our restore wiki/online manual.
I would be happy to help you through our support system if you need it.

Yeah, I would really like for you to walk me through it so we can do it easily and efficiantly. One question, after we make a back up, then transfer the files to the new wordpress site, is there a place within your plugin where we change the URL so that wordpress knows it's a new site. Currently, when we've done manually back ups, and upload them to a new domain the admin redirects to the original domain.
So, manually, what we've done is uploaded the plug folder and themes folder to only overwrite that section. However, this doesn't solve our problem because we want "all" of the site files, including the admin setup, to be the same. Does your plugin do this?
Please let me know and I will get a support ticket and payment made today.

Disregaurd last post. I will seperate my questions before I open a support ticket:
1) Do I have to install Wordpress on the new domain I am creating or will the wordpress site I am cloning already take care of this?
2) After we make a back up, then transfer the files to the
new wordpress site, is there a place within your plugin where we change
the URL so that wordpress knows it's a new site when it's being transferred? (we've done manual back ups, and upload them to a new domain the admin redirects to the original domain, that is why I ask).
3) Will the new site be 100% cloned from the old one (plugin settings, admin menu settings, form settings, etc, etc etc)?
4) Do you offer any type of phone support?
Thanks,
Blake
