i keep setting up many forums … and do the same steps over and over

is there an easy way to clone the base forum that i set up so i can just copy to a new site with out having to do the steps over and over to get the base forum setup?

it sure would speed up the process 🙂

thanks in advance

Hello and a happy new 2022,

I use the UpdraftPlus Backup/Restore for backup.

I upload the backups to an external web server.

I mirrored my forum on another web space for test purposes.

To do this, I simply installed a standard Wordpress and the UpdraftPlus Backup/Restore for backup plugin and imported the backup from the external web server into the test version.

Perhaps for the time being this is a way with the positive side effect of data backup for you.

Whereby the url in the database has to be changed.

It then comes from the backup and no longer matches the new address.
