Worked amazing well

Tried other cloning plugins with no success and also the wp codex method. This plugin worked seamlessly after I filtered out the uploads (large) folder. The method is so simple – compile the package (keep it well under 50Mb!) and installer, new empty hosting root/dir, ftp both in there, new empty database and run installer.php by browsingthe site url/installer.php, And off it goes. Just make sure the installer db name/user/pw fields are correct. Manually copy over any sub dirs to WP-content (ie the large Uploads sub dirs) using filezilla or Plesk / cPanel file utilities. Any issues suggest do it all again, fresh empty db and make sure the domain/sub domain is pointing at the hosting root/dir. (easy in Plesk)
