WP Toolkit Deluxe - Use Existing Subdomain & DB for Cloning

vatra
During cloning, we can only create a new subdomain and database for our designated clone. We can't use our upfront created ones. Is this already possible, but I'm missing it or if not should I create a feature request? I always create subdomains and DBs upfront for all my installations so this would be a really good option to have.

    Hey there! I just want to make sure I understand the situation - when you say "upfront created ones" this is a database that you have created in cPanel that isn't currently linked to a WordPress installation?

    Yes, exactly. I've created a dev. subdomain and a DB for this purpose before trying to clone a website.

    On a test server I created an empty database in cPanel, and then inside WP Toolkit I used the Database dropdown and manually entered the database name: After that, the install completed with that database name, and things worked well. Are you able to try that on your side?

    Have you installed a new WP or cloned an existing one into an already-created DB?

    This was specifically a new installation, but I see the option in your screenshot for the clone. Can you not manually enter the database name there on your end?

    I just figured out that it is possible to use the existing subdomain. But I still don't know if we can use the existing DB. Instead of testing and spending time back and forth can you please ask the dev team: Is it possible in the cloning window/interface, to specify an existing database, and by existing, I mean the new empty one not used by the original WP installation?

    Yes, this is possible in that interface.

    So in that case, existing DB user, password, and table prefix will be used for a clone?

    No, unfortunately it only lets you choose the database name. There's no option to use a specific user or table prefix with the cloning tool. If you wanted that, it would need to be a feature request.

    Done and done - and you've now made enough comments so you shouldn't be moderated in the future!
