The primary goal of PW_Archives is to be light-weight and efficient. I’ve tried almost all of the popular archiving plugins out there, and so many of them make hundreds or even thousands of queries depending on the number of posts you have on your site. PW_Archives makes only one query to get your posts. That’s it. Not only that but it doesn’t do endless amounts of looping and counting to determine post and comment counts. That’s all included in the one query it does, and it’s very efficient.
The second main goal of PW_Archives is customization. Almost everything is customizable. Select what post types to include, choose whether you want the javascript to fade in or slide down (or no javascript at all). You can even select the date format and add custom markup. If you don’t know HTML, don’t worry; the defaults will work for most people.

A simple and effective approach to copying blogs within a multisite network.
<ul>
<li>Copy a blog including all its widgets, template settings and more.</li>
<li>Option to copy or not copy files.</li>
<li>GUIDs and urls in post contents are migrated automatically.</li>
</ul>
This plugin was derived from Ron Renneck’s awesome WP Replicator (http://wpebooks.com/replicator/) plugin, although it’s been 90% rewritten. Changes from the original include the following:
<ul>
<li>Improved performance on large scale blogs.</li>
<li>Improved file copy performance and an option in the admin to bypass copying altogether.</li>
<li>Removed limit of number of blogs that can be used as a copy source.</li>
<li>Encapsulated the code in a Class and renamed variables to be more readable.</li>
<li>Revised UI to keep it simple and easy to use.</li>
</ul>
Sadly the WordPress file management code is not idea for handling the copying of a large folder with subdirectories so we opted to stick with exec(‘cp’). On the flip side, we set up a filter (copy_blog_files_command) so that you can override it with your own custom copy code.
This plugin is actively supported and we will do our best to help you. In return we simply as 3 things:
<ol>
<li>Help Out. If you see a question on the forum you can help with or have a great idea and want to code it up and submit a patch, that would be just plain awesome and we will shower your with praise. Might even be a good way to get to know us and lead to some paid work if you freelance. Also, we are happy to post translations if you provide them.</li>
<li>Donate – if this is generating enough revenue to support our time it makes all the difference in the world

<h3>Documentation</h3>
It’s pretty straight forward. Select the blog you want to copy. Set a new domain or subdomain and a title. Decide if you want to copy the files or just the data. Click “Copy Now”. Done.
This DOES NOT copy blogs across networks, back up blogs off the network, or copy the master blog. This also does NOT copy users from one blog to another.
