  Hi,

  I have a project by merging two WordPress websites into one.
  I would like to make and exact clone of one WordPress website to another WordPress account so for development.
  This way the clone website will not be touch and corrupted

  How can I do this?

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

  Hi,

  You can export the content out of the first blog and import it into the second blog.

  Please refer to the following support pages: https://en.support.wordpress.com/export/

  Happy blogging !
