copy my entire wordpress site
-
I would like to make an exact replica of my wordpress site, so that I can then revise the dates etc and use it as the basis of a new one for next term.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

- Get another free WordPress.com blog.
While you are logged in to your account:
https://signup.wordpress.com/signup/?ref=newdash-myblogs-bottom - Set it to private.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/ - Export your current blog.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/export/ - Import that file—don’t try to open it because it looks like code and won’t be useful for you:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/import/
(choose the WordPress option) - Once the import is complete, choose the Dusk to Dawn theme your current live blog uses, and add your widgets again.
- Edit as you like.

If you are not currently using the live site (looks like your recent posts are from September???), then the other option is to just change it to “private” and edit as you like. When it’s ready for the next semester, just change it back to public.

In that case, if this alternative is applicable, you might want to remove the old comments as well as changing the dates.But the import / export process works very easily.

You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard and use the export and import functions.

Yes, but you might need help from staff to transfer pictures and other files. I’m not sure you could do that unless she is at least a co-administrator on your blog.
Please subscribe to this topic so you’ll be notified when staff responds to the modlook tag.

Can a friend export from her blog, and I import it into my blog?
Yes – for the pictures and media to come over the blog being imported needs to be online and not private – i.e. your blog needs to be able to read the files on the other blog – just make sure you click on the right boxes to have the media transferred – I think the boxes are only on the Import
The links Tess gave you above are good – the first couple of blogs I did the export / import thing with I printed the instructions and made notes on the paper

Thanks Mike, I’ve only moved blogs where I was owner/ or co-admin so I wasn’t positive. In that case, the OP would only need the xml export file to make the import.
