描述
In WordPress Multisite, new sites get a boring default template, without any custom settings or starter content.
This plugin allows you to select a specific blog on your network, a “master” one, that will be cloned every time a new blog is created.
In this way, new blogs will contain all posts, uploads, theme settings and plugin options from the master blog.
How does it work?
- It uses MySQL
INSERT INTO ... SELECTto copy every table from the “master” blog into the new one. This is fast! - Then it does a search and replace on the new blog’s tables, to replace the old URL with the new one.
This is done in a way that respects serialized arrays, so your plugin’s settings will be preserved.
(We used a heavily trimmed down version of Interconnect/IT’s Search and Replace tool for that, so go thank them for this!) - It proceeds to copy all files from the
wp-content/uploadsdir of your master blog into the new one’s, so that all assets will work as expected. - Finally it does some house clean-up, updating the new blog’s title, admin email, and user roles as needed.
Go check the screenshots, it’s really simple and does what it says.
Give it a try!
This plugin was handcrafted with love and ‘yerba mate’ by the team at Tipit.net.

You’ll probably want to create a “master” blog to clone from, if you don’t have one already.
常見問題
- Can I clone the main site?
-
No. The main site in your network (usually the one with ID = 1) contains many DB tables, assets and even sensitive information that shouldn’t be replicated to other blogs.
- Can I clone my blog in a single-site WP install?
-
No. The whole point of this plugin is to clone blogs within a Multisite network.
- Really?

We couldn’t come up with more questions. Go ahead and ask us some questions and we’ll add the frequent ones here 🙂
