High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 7+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.0.0, well behind 6.8.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Estimated value
What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.
Est. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

A must-have when working with multiple sites.

This plugin has not been maintained for a very long time. It is not compatible with new versions of PHP (7.4+) and there have not been answers in the support sections for over 2 years.

Great plug-in for duplicating a single site within a multi-site. And free of charge! I hope it will be developed also in the future, I would pay gladly for the development.

I cant use this plugin, my main site is missing in the drop down. If I could clone the main site then I have to specific what tables to clone in a function. I cant documentation on it. I found this thread https://wordpress.org/support/topic/duplicating-primary-site/, but that does not say what tables. I have no idea what tables I would need to enter to clone the main site. This really needs more documentation. I would assume most people would start with 1 site but if they cant clone it with this plugin they cant create a template to clone other sites. Its a non starter. This topic was modified 6 years, 8 months ago by amityweb.

At first, I tried another multisite duplicator, only to find out that the cheap shared hosting (Sitegrounds) does not support increasing the PHP max_execution_time. So the duplication could not finish running. I tried this plugin, which also ran into the same barrier when using it through the admin (SUGGESTION TO DEVS; you may want to provide a warning about low max_execution_time, because users will hit a white screen and the site won’t duplicate). BUT…this plugin also provides a WP-CLI command to duplicating the site. So if you can SSH in, you can run a command that will successfully duplicate the site! On Sitegrounds, I was only able to follow the first part of the WP-CLI installation that downloaded the .phar file. Permissions were not available to move it to the bin. But I was able to run it from where it was downloaded, passing in the path of the WP installation: php wp-cli.phar site duplicate --path="/opt/var/www/foobar-example/public" --slug=newsubdomain --source=2 --title=“New Site Name“ Success: Site 5 created: http://newsubdomain.yoursite.com (Note that “source” here is the ID of the multisite site you are duplicating. See plugin docs for full list of arguments) This topic was modified 6 years, 11 months ago by forthewinn. This topic was modified 6 years, 11 months ago by forthewinn.
