How to clone the WordPress blog

Hello there!

Yes, you can move your exact wordpress blog to another domain. Just follow these steps:

1. On the new domain, create a "robots.txt" with these contents: 

              1 User-agent: *

              2 Disallow: /

2. Copy the database and files from the current domain to the new domain.

3. On the new domain, edit "wp-config.php" and enter the right settings for the domain and the following:

              1 define ('WP_SITEURL', 'place here the url of your new site');

              2 define ('WP_HOME', 'place here the url of your new site');

4. Setup the same settings of your old domain to the blog install for the new domain.

5. Using "Search and Replace plugin", search and replace old URL with the new URL.

6. After moving wordpress and checking its databases/files, remove "robots.txt" file.

7. On the old domain (blog), look for "apache.htaccessor vhost-config" and add this:

             1. Redirect 301 /blog/<enter here the URL of your new site>/

8. Remove the databases/files on the old domain.
