To clone a WordPress site when host provides cPanel X<\/p>\n

CAUTION: You can mess up your existing install and or databases if you don’t know what you’re doing.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Use Fantastico to create a new WordPress install<\/li>\n
  2. Identify the new MySQL database name<\/li>\n
  3. Export the old MySQL database , if cPanel then use phpMyAdmin
    \nHint: Check out the “Comments” table to be sure you have the right one
    \nHint: Be sure to check all the tables before exporting<\/li>\n
  4. Import the old database to the new MySQL database using phpMyAdmin<\/li>\n
  5. Download the old WordPress files and folders to your local computer, perhaps using Filezilla<\/li>\n
  6. Delete the files and folders in the new WordPress install, perhaps using Filezilla<\/li>\n
  7. Upload the old files and folders to the new WordPress install, again perhaps using Filezilla<\/li>\n
  8. If database name or user changes, edit wp-config.php to have the correct values. Filezilla will let you edit the file and then upload it back.<\/li>\n
  9. Now to change the urls in the new database follow the directions here:
    \nhttp:\/\/interconnectit.com\/124\/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases\/<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. Basically download searchreplacedb2.php, put it in the root directory of the new install and run it<\/li>\n
    2. Note: You can find the old url in the database’s posts table (use phpMyAdmin to look)<\/li>\n
    3. Note: You want to swap the old url for the new url<\/li>\n
    4. Note: If you can’t remember the username\/password, use cPanel’s MySql Databases to create a new one and apply it to the new database.<\/li>\n
    5. Note: This is why it’s kinda messy to be doing this cloning stuff — but a lot less trouble than recreating all those plugins, settings, menus, images, blah, blah<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    6. That should do it.<\/li>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
