MultiSite Clone Duplicator

MultiSite Clone Duplicator adds a “Duplicate Site” functionality to your network installation.

It allows you to clone any site of your network into a new one : all data, files, users and roles can be copied.

It is useful when you want to create multiple sites from the same template : Don’t waste your time copying the same configuration again and again !

Simple and user-friendly, this plugin extends WordPress core network’s functionalities without polluting the dashboard.

WARNING : If you clone the primary site, you must use mucd_default_primary_tables_to_copy filter to declare plugins and custom database tables, or your cloned site won’t be complete

• Keep users and roles from duplicated site (if option is checked)
