Description

Can you please add the feature of clone contents of one site to another? If someone has a wordpress blog, say A, and another has another blog, say B. It could be useful to clone contents of page foo in A to B. So copy the contents of blog, metadata and copy the media files in media theque.

WordPress allows you to import/export data (content including meta data and media) via XML, if that's what you're looking for.

I think wordpress-importer cannot import media files. I go forward: I imagine a button Clone this which simply clone the contents without any user intervention. Like a button of twitter it. Do you follow me?

Replying to somenxavier:

I think wordpress-importer cannot import media files.

It can and will do that as long as the old site is still accessible.

Other forms of complete site cloning is plugin territory, and there are a lot of them who offers both backup and cloning.

This is not really core territory. It's much better suited to WP-CLI and plugins.
