Creating/cloning a site but making them individually customizable?
Permalink 1 user found helpful
I've read through the forums on this and most say to copy the files, then change the url in the site.php. When I do this, the site is cloned but when I make a change to one site such as text in a block, then all the other sites make the same change. I don't want that to happen. I'm guessing because it's within the same database? What I need to accomplish is to be able to make ten websites with seperate url's quickly. I have one site that I would like to duplicate several times but then be able to go in and edit them seperately without one change to one site resulting in the change happening to all the sites. I need them to be completely seperate from each other. Does anyone know how to accomplish this? Thank you
Of course since you are trying to clone your website, you should export your original DB and re-import it under a different name.
Then you should modify site.php accordingly to use the new DB
define('DB_USERNAME', 'your user name');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'your password');
define('DB_DATABASE', 'your new DB name');
I hope this helps. Good luck.
