Wordpress - Clone plugins (with settings) to new WP install

Is there a way to clone a Wordpress website but keep all the plugin settings etc for a completely new website?

I've turned Wordpress into a cms with the help of some plugins and some of my own tweaks. I want to roll this out as the cms I use for every website I create so therefore don't want to have to install all the plugins each time and adjust their settings.

I don't want to copy t开发者_StackOverflowhe content of the site just the plugins.

It's not as simple as ftp'ing all the files down then up to some new hosting space.

How can I go about cloning the website?

Would wordpress multisite work for this? I know it does sub domains etc but can I use multisite over several different domains?

A backup of the database, and a copy of the files in the wordpress directories. On the new site, you would need to have changed the URL in the config database, which if you backup the database you could change in the text file you backed up to, before uploading to the new site.

Also http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL suggests you could set a setting and any chances will be auto reflected when you load it somewhere else.

Have you checked if the copy wasn't corrupted?

Please check if the /home/biologic/public_html/wp-includes/load.php file is there.

Or maybe the ABSPATH above is wrong... if it is, then check if you have this on your wp-config.php file:

if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )
    define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');

if it is there, replace dirname(__FILE__) . '/' with the actual absolute path, hardcoding it.

I've figured out the process:

1. Ftp down the files from your existing site.
2. Change the wp_config to the new details of the database.
3. Ftp up the files to the new site.
4. Download the database of the old site.
5. Import into the database of the new site. Change the wp_options siteurl to the new site address.
6. Login to the admin and change the site address to the new domain.
7. Update the permalinks.

The site is cloned successfully.
