WP Duplicate (Formerly LocalSync) provides you with the easiest and the fastest way to clone or migrate a site from one server to another with the click of a button.
\nThe migration process is highly reliable and is proven to migrate bigger sites without any errors.
<\/p>\n\n

Why WP Duplicate?<\/h3>\n\nSimplest Cloning Tool<\/strong>\n\n

Just install the WP Duplicate plugin on the destination site and the live site and start syncing, no need to enter FTP details.

<\/p>\n\nIncremental Cloning<\/strong>\n\n

Only the changed files are cloned from the source site to the destination site. So the cloning process is faster.

<\/p>\n\nLoad Images From Live Site<\/strong>\n\n

With WP Duplicate you can directly load the images of Live site, so that you do not need to copy media files which will save a lot of time during the cloning process.

<\/p>\n\nClone Live Site To Local Computer<\/strong>\n\n

With WP Duplicate you can clone any production site to your Local Computer (MAMP, LAMP, XAMP, etc..).<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Spin off a WP site on the destination server.<\/li>\n
  2. Install and activate the \"WP Duplicate Plugin\" on the WP site created as mentioned above.<\/li>\n
  3. Go to \"WP admin dashboard -> WP Duplicate\" and select \"This is duplicate site\" button.<\/li>\n
  4. Install and activate \"WP Duplicate Plugin\" on the live WP site.<\/li>\n
  5. Go to \"WP admin dashboard -> WP Duplicate\" and select \"This is prod site\" button.<\/li>\n
  6. Login with your WP Duplicate account (created on https:\/\/localsync.infinitewp.com) on the live WP site.<\/li>\n
  7. Copy the prod key and go to the \"WP admin dashboard -> WP Duplicate\" on the local WP site.<\/li>\n
  8. Paste the prod key, and Add Site.<\/li>\n
  9. Now you are ready to copy the live site to the duplicate site.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
    \n

    Can I clone the site to the local Computer?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Yes, you can clone the live site to the WP site on your local desktop server.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Where is the documentation for your plugin?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Visit https:\/\/docs.localsync.infinitewp.com<\/a> for the documentation.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
