We will use WordPress as an example in this guide, but the same method works for a number of pieces of software that can be installed via our one-click installer Softaculous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

It is not possible to use the cloning feature in Softaculous if your site uses a database with a hyphen (-) in the database name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This guide shows you how to clone your current website for purposes such as development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Begin by logging on to cPanel<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. If you want to clone the website to a subdomain such as copy.exempel.se<\/code>, you first need to create a subdomain<\/a>. If you want to clone the website to another domain instead, you need to add it as an add-on domain<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Click the icon\u00a0Softaculous Apps Installer<\/code> under Software<\/code>.\"\"<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Click on the All Installations<\/code> icon. Make sure the website you want to clone is visible in the list, if it is not, you need to import it<\/a> first.
    \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. In the list, find the website you want to clone, then click Clone<\/code> to the right.\"\"<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Now choose the domain you want to clone the website to under Choose Domain<\/code>.\"Detaljer<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Then click on Clone Installation<\/code> further down the page.
    \"Softaculous<\/a><\/figure><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Remember that the database details for the installation in Softaculous must match those in the site’s settings file (wp-config.php for WordPress), otherwise the cloning will not be complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
