  I want to make a copy of my existing worrdpress site but with a new name. then just edit it to the way i want it. My existing site already has plugins and menu systems established and I dont want to have to waste time recreating all that stuff. Can this be done?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi,

  I’m afraid that only Posts, Pages and Discussion can be duplicated.
  To do that, just login your Dashboard, then go to Tools, export your content, then import the xml file to your other blog.

  Anyway, why would you want to make a copy of your existing site?

  If you have Plugin’s then you are in the wrong forum – and need to make friends at WordPress.ORG – but on the good side you CAN do exactly what you want to do
