This WPMU plugin creates under the Site Admin menu called “Bulk Create Blogs” where you can bulk create/add users to blogs.
To use the plugin you must create correctly formatted data. The plugin takes 
CSV formatted data where each row contains the following data.
<pre><code>domain, user_id, blog_title, blog_topic,
</code></pre>
Each of these fields is described below.
<ul>
<li>blog_domain (Mandatory): the domain name of the blog, this should only contain alphanumeric characters and be in all lowercase. If the blog domain is empty then users will be added to the site’s root blog.</li>
<li>user_name (Mandatory): the login id of the user to be added to the blog.</li>
<li>blog_title (Optional): the title of the blog.</li>
<li>blog_topic (Optional): the name of the blog topic that this blog will be categorised under. These topics are setup under the ‘Blog Topic Management’ tab. A blog_title must be chosen if you wish to set the blog topic. (Requires cets_blog_topics plugin.) </li>
</ul>
When each line is processed, if the blog named already exists then the user given 
is added to the blog. If the blog does not exist then it is created. If a blog title 
is not provided then the blog domain is used.
This plugin also provides support for LDAP user creation. If a user does not exist and 
the ldap_auth plugin is installed then it will attempt to create a new user.
At the moment this plugin only supports sites that use domain blog naming. Support for 
sub-directories is not planned but you could easily add it yourself.
The number of blogs that can be imported at a time is limited.

Bulk Create Blogs

A WPMU plugin for allowing the site admin to bulk create blogs using CSV data.

In WordPress Multisite, new sites get a boring default template, without any custom settings or starter content.
This plugin allows you to select a specific blog on your network, a “master” one, that will be cloned every time a new blog is created.
In this way, new blogs will contain all posts, uploads, theme settings and plugin options from the master blog.
<h4>How does it work?</h4>
<ol>
<li>It uses MySQL <code>INSERT INTO ... SELECT</code> to copy every table from the “master” blog into the new one. This is fast!</li>
<li>Then it does a search and replace on the new blog’s tables, to replace the old URL with the new one. 
This is done in a way that respects serialized arrays, so your plugin’s settings will be preserved. 
(We used a heavily trimmed down version of Interconnect/IT’s <a href="https://github.com/interconnectit/Search-Replace-DB" rel="nofollow ugc">Search and Replace</a> tool for that, so go thank them for this!)</li>
<li>It proceeds to copy all files from the <code>wp-content/uploads</code> dir of your master blog into the new one’s, so that all assets will work as expected.</li>
<li>Finally it does some house clean-up, updating the new blog’s title, admin email, and user roles as needed.</li>
</ol>
Go check the screenshots, it’s really simple and does what it says. 
Give it a try!

Multisite Cloner

I was looking for this for ages! Thanks for creating this awesome plugin, exactly what I need for my current projects!

Keep up the great work!

Awesome!

This plugin has never let me down and I've used it on scores of multi-sites.   I know (at the time of writing this review) it has not been updated in a while, but it's still brilliant.  The developer has said he will update when required, so don't be put off by the last update date.  Plus he responds to support questions.  What more can you ask for.

Thank you @manuelrazzari

I Love This Plugin

When creating a new blog on WordPress Multisite, copies all the posts, settings and files, from a selected blog into the new one.
