  I´d like to create a new travel blog using the old menu and the complete setting of the blog as I did this already 3 times for my blogs.
  The export-/import function does only transfer the posts – not the menu etc.

  I´ve read about the plugin “duplicator” – but I can´t find it on the wordpress.com site…does somebodey got some hints for me?

  Would be great as I´m starting my upcoming cycling tour in 3 weeks time…thanks!!!

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

  Howdy!

  It is not possible to install plugins on WordPress.com, for security reasons. Plugins can only be installed on self-hosted WordPress.org blogs. The difference is broken down here:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  That’s why you’re unable to find the duplicator on your WordPress.com site.

  If I understand correctly, you’re trying to create a new site with all of the settings that you have on a current site. Correct? The only way to do that would be to export the content as you mentioned:

  Export Your Website’s Content

  This will bring across all posts, pages, comments, and media items. You’ll need to setup the menus separately as they will not be imported. However, I’m happy to help if you run into any trouble!

  If you need any additional help, can you provide the URL of the old blog and the URL of the new blog so I can take a look?
