Clone Site
Table of Contents
Introduction
The Clone Site job enables you to create an exact replica of an existing site. This process involves duplicating all essential elements, including entries, views, sections, lists, URLs, and tags, allowing you to set up new instances with identical configurations. Clone Site is particularly valuable for testing environments, creating backup instances, or establishing new sites based on proven structures. After cloning, the new site can be customized independently of the original.
Cloned Entities
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Entries | Clones all entries associated with the original site, including entry data, tags, and sections. |
| Views | Duplicates all view settings, maintaining the same display structure for the cloned site. |
| Sections | Replicates all sections, ensuring organizational consistency across the cloned and original sites. |
| Lists | Clones lists, including configurations and associated entries. |
| URLs | Duplicates all URLs, providing identical link structures in the new site. |
| Tags | Copies all tags associated with entries, preserving tagging schemes. |
Logging Details
After the Clone Site job is completed, detailed logging messages provide insights into the cloning process. These messages summarize the outcome of each element cloned, ensuring you can verify the completeness and success of the operation. Below you can find the logging messages you may encounter:
