How to Duplicate a WordPress Site (4 posts)

    I have a Worpress site that I'm using as my Cafepress store Home Page.
    I hired someone to build my WordPress theme and link it to my Cafepress shop using CPShop. I'm trying to duplicate what she did, but no matter what I can't replicate her WordPress theme.

    From my hosting site, I copied the WordPress folder and pasted into the new URL.
    When I go to the URL, the site is up and running.
    I can't figure out how to login to the new site's Dashboard. When I go to the "URL.com/wp-admin", it redirects it to the old WordPress login.

    Is there a way to duplicate a wordpress site (menus and all)?

    Hi adamprimes,

    It sounds like you still have the old URL entered into the database or config file for WordPress. You can override this by adding the following to your wp-config.php file:

    define('WP_HOME', 'http://newurl.com');
    define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://newurl.com');

    For more information on moving WordPress, please see:

    Let me know if you have any questions.

    Thank you ChristiNi!!!!!
    That worked.
    I thought I was going to have to spend $100 on a WordPress cloner...
