How to Clone WordPress Websites in GoHighLevel

In this guide, you will learn step-by-step how to clone WordPress sites inside GoHighLevel. Many teams manage tasks in ClickUp or similar tools, and this process is ideal to document as a repeatable SOP. We will walk through WordPress snapshot sites, mapping domains, and copying funnels or entire websites so you can duplicate successful layouts quickly across your locations or client accounts.

The instructions below are based on the official HighLevel documentation and are tailored to help you implement the cloning process accurately and efficiently.

What You Need Before Cloning in GoHighLevel

Before you start cloning a WordPress site in GoHighLevel, make sure the following requirements are met:

• You have a WordPress snapshot site already configured in your account.
• You have admin access to your GoHighLevel account and the target sub-account or location.
• Your domains are properly registered and available to be mapped inside the platform.
• You understand which funnel or full website you want to copy from the snapshot site.

Having these items ready will make the cloning workflow smoother and help avoid errors during domain mapping or content duplication.

Understanding the WordPress Snapshot Site in GoHighLevel

The cloning feature relies on a concept called the WordPress snapshot site. This is a template WordPress installation inside GoHighLevel that you can reuse for multiple locations or sub-accounts.

The snapshot site typically contains:

• Core WordPress configuration
• Pre-installed themes and plugins
• Starter pages, funnels, and layouts
• Basic styling, headers, and footers

When you clone from the snapshot site, GoHighLevel recreates this setup in another location, saving you from manually rebuilding the structure for each new client or business unit.

Step 1: Access the WordPress Section in GoHighLevel

To begin the cloning process, first navigate to the WordPress area in your account:

1. Log in to your GoHighLevel account.
2. Select the appropriate sub-account or location where you want to manage WordPress.
3. Locate the Sites or Websites menu item in the left-hand navigation, depending on your interface version.
4. Open the WordPress subsection to view the connected website and available settings.

This is where you manage your WordPress snapshot site and where you will initiate the cloning procedure.

Step 2: Use the GoHighLevel WordPress Snapshot Site

Once in the WordPress section, confirm that your snapshot site is correctly set up and ready for cloning:

1. Verify that a WordPress site is already installed and marked as the template or snapshot site.
2. Check that key pages, funnels, and layout elements are present.
3. Test the snapshot site in a browser to ensure it loads correctly and the design appears as expected.

If you identify issues in the snapshot, fix those first. Any errors in the snapshot will be carried over when you clone to a new sub-account.

Step 3: Map the Domain to the GoHighLevel WordPress Site

Domain mapping ensures that your cloned WordPress site is accessible on the correct URL. The exact navigation labels may vary, but the general steps are:

1. In your GoHighLevel sub-account, go to Settings or Domains.
2. Click to Add or Connect a new domain.
3. Follow the prompts to add your domain or subdomain for the WordPress site.
4. Update DNS records with your domain registrar as instructed (typically an A record or CNAME).
5. Return to GoHighLevel and confirm that the domain is correctly mapped to the WordPress site.

After propagation, your domain will point to the snapshot or cloned WordPress site managed inside the platform.

Step 4: Clone a Funnel or Full WordPress Site in GoHighLevel

When your snapshot site and domain are ready, you can clone either a specific funnel or the entire WordPress website. The cloning feature is designed to replicate the layout and structure inside another sub-account.

How to Clone a Funnel in GoHighLevel

To copy only a particular funnel from the WordPress snapshot site:

1. From the snapshot sub-account, open the Funnels area tied to the WordPress site.
2. Locate the funnel you want to duplicate (for example, a lead generation or booking funnel).
3. Use the available option to Clone or Copy the funnel to another location or sub-account. The interface may show a button like Clone to Account or similar.
4. Select the destination sub-account where the cloned funnel should appear.
5. Confirm the action and wait for the cloning process to complete.

After the process finishes, go to the destination sub-account and verify that the funnel pages, steps, and design elements have been copied correctly.

How to Clone an Entire WordPress Site in GoHighLevel

If you need a full site copy, not just a funnel, you will use the cloning tools associated with the WordPress snapshot:

1. In your main or agency-level view, open the sub-account that contains the WordPress snapshot site.
2. Locate the option that allows you to create or install a new WordPress site in another sub-account using the snapshot as the source.
3. Choose the target sub-account where the new WordPress site should be cloned.
4. Confirm that you are using the snapshot site as the template for this new installation.
5. Start the cloning process and allow time for the system to copy themes, plugins, and content.

Once cloning completes, log in to the WordPress dashboard of the destination location and ensure that all pages, menus, and core settings match the snapshot source.

Step 5: Verify the Cloned GoHighLevel WordPress Site

After you clone a WordPress site in GoHighLevel, always perform a detailed review:

• Open the front-end site on the mapped domain.
• Check the homepage, key landing pages, and funnel steps.
• Confirm that forms, buttons, and calls-to-action are working.
• Verify that tracking codes or integrations behave as expected.
• Update branding elements such as logos, colors, and contact information for the new client or location.

This verification step helps you catch layout issues or misconfigurations early, before sending live traffic to the cloned site.

Best Practices When Cloning in GoHighLevel

To keep your WordPress cloning process efficient and reliable, follow these best practices:

• Maintain a clean snapshot site: Keep plugins updated, remove unused themes, and test major changes before cloning.
• Document your SOP: Store a written procedure in your project management system so your team repeats the same steps every time.
• Standardize naming: Use consistent naming for pages, funnels, and domains to avoid confusion across sub-accounts.
• Check permissions: Ensure team members have the correct access levels before allowing them to clone or modify WordPress sites.

These practices help agencies and businesses scale faster while maintaining consistent quality across multiple WordPress deployments.
