Duplicator enables you to:
- Move, migrate or clone a WordPress site between domains or hosts
- Pull down a live site to localhost for development
- Manually backup a WordPress site or parts of a site
- Duplicate a live site to a staging area or vice versa
- Bundle up an entire WordPress site for easy reuse or distribution
- Perform a full WordPress migration without struggling with messy import/export sql scripts
Duplicator creates a package that bundles all the site’s plugins, themes, content, database and WordPress files into a simple zip file called a package. This package can then be used to easily migrate a WordPress site to any location you wish. Move on the same server, across servers and pretty much any location a WordPress site can be hosted. WordPress is not required for installation since the package contains all site files.
Duplicator lets you make your own pre-configured sites to eliminate rework. Instead of manually configuring your favorite theme, set of plugins or content over and over, now just configure a single site and bundle it up into a Duplicator package. Once you have the bundled site, you can migrate the WordPress site over and over to different locations to instantly create many pre-configured sites!
Duplicator Pro takes Duplicator to the next level with features you’ll really appreciate, such as:
- Scheduled backups
- Cloud Storage to Dropbox, Google Drive, Amazon S3 and FTP
- Multi-threaded to support larger web sites & databases
- Migrate an entire multisite WordPress network in one shot
- Install a multisite subsite as a new standalone website
- Database and user creation in the installer with cPanel API
- Connect to cPanel directly from installer
- Email notifications
- Professional support
- … and much more!

The plugin works only with small installations. If you try it with a large database, it ends ever in a Internal Server Error.
I found out that my dev work on a WordPress site was a waste of time as I would have to go through the database and replace all URL references to the “preview” domain, once the nameservers were changed to go live.
I contacted the Duplicator guys and they replied quickly saying that the plugin would do what I needed.
Installed the plugin, ran it and uploaded the two files to a new host. Created the MySQL database, ran the installer and the original site was now live and working on a totally different domain! No fiddling with database tables needed.
I was a bit unsure about the database user permissions to assign; the instructions I could find simply said assign the correct permissions. Maybe I missed it somewhere. I assigned full permissions and it worked. I will work backwards to remove unnecessary permissions.
