review · 1 stars“Note: the main site in your network (id = 1) can’t be cloned, as it contains many DB tables, assets and sensitive information that shouldn’t be replicated to other blogs.” I’m not sure what purpose this plug-in serves if you can only clone sites which aren’t your main site.
Reppie, you could have read the FAQ for this plugin before downloading, which would have saved your the hassle. Cloning the main site is just wrong for the reasons you’ve quoted yourself. If any cloning plugin allows this, it’s putting you and your users at risk for security and performance issues down the road. You seem to be new to WordPress and Multisite. I suggest you do some reading and testing before taking on whatever project you’re working on and down-voting plugins that you don’t understand.
Wow, nice attitude Manuel. Plug-in description = “When creating a new blog on WordPress Multisite, copies all the posts, settings and files, from a selected blog into the new one.” Perhaps you should look at altering this to be accurate, then you would find people weren’t disappointed when after installing they found they weren’t able to do what they wanted to. If I have to rebuild the main site in to another site in order to clone it, then I will have done what I wanted a plug-in to do in the first place.
What you were wanting to do is wrong and dangerous. The plugin is saving you from your own lack of knowledge of the WP data model. Yes, you do need to “rebuild the main site into another site in order to clone it”. Giving a 1 star rating to a plugin just because you’re pissed and don’t understand the way things work isn’t too smart either.
Pro tip: plugin descriptions are just a 2 line summary. You need to read installation instructions and FAQ, and even a few reviews, before installing any plugin.
Well if nothing else, your excellent attitude will no doubt encourage many 10 out of 5 star reviews.
pro tip: the description tab which is much much more than 2 lines should really include pertinent information. people don’t read FAQs if they see no need to ask a question based on a completely inadequate description.
You’re wrong reppie. I always read FAQ and sometimes changelog before I install any plugin. I have bad experience installing bad plugin that ruined my website. After then I always read reviews, FAQ, compatibility no matter how much I hate reading. You’re lucky this time, this plugin didn’t ruin your website. But good advice for you: always read the information as much as you can because you won’t be so lucky next time.
Lol, i’m not wrong just because you are anal. FAQs are for people with Qs. If people have no Qs because the description of a product appears to be exactly what they need, they don’t read the FAQs.
