• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

Resolved How do I clone an imported WordPress site for staging?

David Borrink

Basic Pleskian
I moved my WordPress sites to my own hosting with Plesk and want to create a staging site for one of them. I've read that you can clone a WordPress site in the WordPress Toolkit.

I have created sites in Plesk since the move, and I see the cloning option on those. On the selected existing site I want to clone I used the Connect (Beta) tool to import that site into the WordPress Toolkit, but when I go in the Dashboard panel, there is no set of links including the "clone" button like there is on sites I've installed in Plesk through the WordPress Toolkit.

Is this a limitation of the beta of the Connect feature, or am I missing something? Do I need to do a more manual form of staging site in Plesk as a result?
 
Just figured it out. I had not considered the "Scan" option in the WordPress Toolkit. I did that and all my sites have been added. The new instance imported has the "clone" button.
