  Hi there,

  Yes, you can do that. The best way to accomplish this is through exporting the content from the current site over to the new site. Make sure the same theme is activated on the new site as it is on the old site as well.

  In order to move your content from one WordPress.com site to another, please visit our support pages on exporting and importing your content. Let me know if you have any questions.

  Thanks!

  Thank you so much. I want to be sure that exporting (cloning) the site will have the end result of the same site and content with the ability to customize each site individually, i.e., two sites with the same content but with two different contact us links.

  When I hear the word ‘export’ in my mind I am completely removing site A and transplanting it to another host which will render just one site.

  Is this the case?

  Thank you in advance for your reply.

  @oracleknows1,

  I want to be sure that exporting (cloning) the site will have the end result of the same site and content with the ability to customize each site individually, i.e., two sites with the same content but with two different contact us links.

  The content would be the same (posts, pages, comments — basically anything someone can type into the site). However, the site’s setting and theme would not be exported.
