  I’ve been working with WP for several years now and no matter what I try, I just can’t find a predictable method for moving sites, especially big ones.

  The import/export built-into WordPress is not that great. I’ve tried all the free plugins like Duplicator. I even just dropped $80 for BackupBuddy. My 47 page site times out every time I try to do a backup.

  Please can’t there be a way to just put in a URL and Wp file location and have it clone a large site without all the hassles??????

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