Overview

WP Clone by WP Academy is a versatile WordPress plugin designed to streamline the process of backing up, migrating, or cloning WordPress sites to different domains or hosting servers. Users can easily create backups for development or testing purposes and install pre-configured setups without needing FTP access. Unlike other plugins, WP Clone focuses on user content and database backups rather than system files, ensuring faster migration and enhanced security. With a high success rate, it enables straightforward site cloning through direct HTTP connections, bypassing the need for large file uploads. However, users are advised to keep an alternate backup solution and follow best practices to ensure successful migration, especially for large or uniquely configured sites.

No FTP Access Required

  • Backup, migrate, or clone without needing FTP access.
  • Simply install WordPress on the destination site and follow prompts.

Efficient Backup Process

  • Does not backup or restore WordPress system files, only user content and database.
  • Reduces upload time and improves site security.

Direct HTTP Connection

  • Fetches site backup via host’s direct HTTP connection.
  • Avoids the need to upload large backup files, simplifying migration.

High Success Rate

  • 90% of backups and migrations work flawlessly.
  • Workarounds available for large sites and specific hosting configurations.

User sentiment analysis

Many users appreciate the plugin for its speed, ease of use, and effectiveness in backing up, cloning, and migrating small to medium WordPress sites. They highlight the convenience of generating backup links instead of dealing with FTP, the automatic adjustment of URLs, and its ability to migrate sites quickly without issues. However, drawbacks include intrusive advertisements, lack of support for larger sites, multisite configuration, and PHP 7 compatibility issues, although some of these have been addressed in updates. Problems with partial restores, missing plugins or settings, error messages during cloning, and backup processes that hang or crash are also noted. Users report mixed experiences, with smaller sites benefiting the most.

This plugin is worthless. Only with payment you can use. I did make a Backup because I was a believer. Now I need this Backup and noting works. Only error Messages. I did loose my website, because I was a believer. Shit plugin!! Be CAREFUL.

Never got to test it out. Quickly got fed up of seeing banner ad in admin panel. Even after clicking ‘remind me later’ came back immediately after page refresh.

This plugin creates a massive ad which gets in the way of almost everything on your backend in WordPress. Do not use this unless you want half your screen taken up by advertisements.
