Hello! I know that this in theory works, but all I can find online is something with plugins – meh.
So I have aceess to both servers of the two different wordpress websites – I wanna copy the files of one into the other (FTP) so it looks exactly the same – which files and folders do I have to copy?
wp-content and what else?
Also, is there something else to keep in mind?
​
Thanks!! 🙂
Use the “WP Duplicate” plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/local-sync … Just install this plugin on both the sites and click the button.
There are definitely tutorials online about how to do this manually. Broadly speaking you just copy the entire website directory and the database then update the wp-config.php file to point to the new database. There are host-specific idiosyncrasies sometimes. Like I’ve had hosts not set permissions as expected or have different extensions loaded or not honor something in the htaccess file or require a php.ini setting be added or removed.
