Steps To Manually Clone A WordPress Site
There are several plugins which are able to duplicate sites both paid and free but below are the essential steps you would need to make:
-Create the receiving cpanel account
-Copy the site files to the new web root of receiving cpanel account from the sending cpanel account
-Make a new database on the receiving cpanel account as well as a mysql user with full privileges on that database
-Export the database from the sending cpanel account either via phpmyadmin or via mysqldump (shell)
-Import the database to the receiving cpanel account either via phpmyadmin or via mysql (shell)
-Update your wp-config.php file on the receiving cpanel account web root with the new database credentials
-Update the wp-options table in the new database on the receiving cpanel account with the new domain (base/home URL options)
-Do a search and replace on the new database for the old domain and replace with the new domain (you can either do this in phpmyadmin or directly on the sqldump file if you exported the database as a mysqldump)
