    Hi everyone, I hope you have a wonderful day .

    Since 3 days I tried to do a backup but it’s always failed so I decide to ask some help to professional .

    THE SITUATION

    First let me explain my situation . I create my portfolio on internet (not local), with the address : labyki.com .

    Now I would like to create two different website, one for my portfolio and one for a learning system .

    I have two different theme , so at first I though I would use subdomain and install 2 wordpress but after some time, I realize I could install just 1 wordpress and use multisite system … And this is when problems start .

    As I spend a lot of time doing my portfolio, I didn’t want to start to zero so I needed to do a backup right ? I found a wonderful plugin that work perfectly call :”wp-clone” . I clone my online website and transfer it to my localhost and it work .
    After I forgot I wanted a multisite , so I uninstall everything ,reinstall wordpress and allow multisite system . But now the plugin doesn’t work because it handle only one website . I try to found a plugin but every time It’s failed .

    MY PROBLEM

    I want to clone a single website (labyki.com) who is online to a website on a multisite network on a localhost (localhost/labyki/portfolio) .

    So I need a plugin that can work on a multisite network and allow me to choose which website I want to transfer the backup . Because I don’t want to transfert in (localhost/labyki) but in (localhost/labyki/portfolio)

    If possible I would like a free plugin .

    And maybe is there an other option, a better one ? Is multisite is a good idea ?

    Thank you for people who will read this and who will answer me , have a great day`

    I won’t recommend multisite for your case.

    since the two sites are different, it is better to have individual WordPress installation for each of them. It is easier, simpler, less headache too.
