  I need to do a direct 1 to 1 copy of my WP site. Images, blog, theme, database, everything.

  What is the best way to do this?

  Do you just copy all the files/folders and install the DB then update the cfg file to point to it or?

  Any help or URLs would be very helpful.

  thanks

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

  We need the URL beginning with http for the from and to sites to give you the correct answer.

  “point to a new server” and same URL probably means you have a self hosted site using WordPress.ORG software.

  Your site is not hosted on WordPress.COM, this site is for support of sites hosted on WordPress.COM. You should address your questions to WordPress.ORG the keepers of the software you are using: http://wordpress.org/support/
