clone wordpress blog within 57 seconds

Playing with autoblogs will leads you into “Quantity of Blogs”. We cannot expected a best quality blog from our autoblogs, so the best way is make as many as we can (play with quantity).

Make lots of blogs will takes time!. Install wordpress, install plugins, setup theme, create campaign and so many more. Actually, this step takes the longest time for our job in autoblogging works. To cut this longest steps, we can do “clone our blog” into hundreds blogs more, so we can save much time.

To Clone wordpress, we can do many ways. In this case, i still only know 2 way.

First way is copy our database and file
1. Install new wordpress for the clone
2. We must login into our cpanel, backup our database and files
3. We must deploy the database into that new wordpress
4. We must modify the SQL database to change the domain name url
This step above is easy for somebody that know cpanel, and also mysql database well, but for a “green” people that do not know about those two stuffs, cpanel and mysql database could be something dangerous. Miss act in this area could be fatal.

Second way is using Clone WordPress Script
There is a script called as WPTwin that could help us to clone wordpress. This script usage is very easy, and very fast. WP Twin claim that cloning wordpress only takes 57 seconds. I have use this script, yes this script is very fast, but i think not as fast as 57 seconds that they said. Maybe 57 second is the time to Deploy the “backuped wordpress” only, not including upload it into the server.

This is a simple explanation about how to clone wordpress using WP Twin script.

1. Upload wptwin.php into the root directory of your Source Blog (that you want to clone)
2. Execute this file (ex. http://yourdomain.com/wptwin.php). Before you do this, you must login into your site first (using different browser tabs)
3. Click Clone, then download the cloned file. 1 file with extension WPT
4. Install new wordpress that you want to be exactly same with the source
5. Upload the WPT file (cloned file) and wptwindeploy.php (wptwin script) into the root of the new blog.
6. Execute the wptwindeploy.php (ex. http://newclone.com/wptwindeploy.php), choose the Cloned file (WPT file), and put your verification code. Click Clone
7. Finish. You will get a new blog with the same setting with the source.

My Personal Advice for using WPTwin to clone wordpress

1. Create a new wordpress site, upload all plugins and theme.
2. Activate all plugins include their settings. If you’re using wprobot, setup the options for this too.
3. Delete all post and page
4. Setup the theme, including widget, and other script placement.
5. After you finish this site as your perfect settings, clone this site with WP Twin script.
6. Create lots of new wordpress, deploy the cloned file from the previous site.
7. Seting the new cloned wordpress site with new wprobot campaign
With this step, you can save much time to clone wordpress
