  Hi
  I want to duplicate site I set up (communityhistoryoz.wordpress.com) for another blog but NOT empty current site of its content.
  How can I do this so I don’t have to do lots of formatting and setting up? Obviously I’ll need to pay for Debut theme again
  Thanks

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

  It’s possible if you run an export on your current blog, and import the file that you get after export into the other blog.

  Here are the links for doing both:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/export/
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/import/

  All your posts, pages, comments, categories and tags can be imported into the other blog, except widgets and other settings.

  Once it’s done, you might want to set one of these blogs to private or hidden from search engines, as they don’t usually like duplicate content.
