Description
Cloner duplicates and clones complete WordPress installations from the WordPress Multisite dashboard, copying files, database, plugins, and themes from an existing site to a new subdomain or subdirectory in just a few clicks. It is designed for those managing Multisite networks who need to replicate model sites, create test environments identical to production, or standardize site delivery for clients from a base template.
Main Features of Cloner
- Complete site cloning
Copies files, database, plugins, themes, and settings from one network site to another. - Site creation from template
Generates new sites on the network using an existing site as a model, preserving content and adjustments. - Replacement of existing sites
Allows overwriting a network site with an exact copy of another pre-configured site. - Native Multisite integration
Adds the cloning dashboard directly to the WordPress network admin without external tools. - Control by authorized users
Restricts the cloning operation to network super admins, preventing accidental actions by other roles.
Benefits of Cloner
- Fast site provisioning
Reduces new network site creation time from a ready template to minutes. - Visual and functional standardization
Ensures all launched sites follow the same structure, plugins, and visual identity of the template. - Faithful test environments
Allows creating exact replicas of production to validate updates without risk to the original site. - Less operational rework
Eliminates repetitive manual setup when replicating similar sites within the same network.
Who is Cloner Recommended For?
- Those managing WordPress Multisite networks who need to launch new sites frequently.
- Agencies delivering standardized sites to clients based on a pre-configured model site.
- Those maintaining staging environments who need to replicate production faithfully for testing.
- Intended for those managing educational portals, corporate networks, or platforms with multiple sibling sites.
How to Download Cloner
Cloner is available for download here on Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it at Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, select the file, and activate it network-wide from the Multisite dashboard. Cloning options will appear in the network menu after activation.
Designed for Multisite network contexts, Cloner converts a task that normally requires export, import, and manual adjustments into a few-click process within the dashboard itself. Those managing dozens of sibling sites gain predictability in delivery, maintain consistency among installations, and free up time to evolve sites rather than recreating the same base repeatedly.
