Option 3 – NS Cloner
The last option you have is the NS Cloner plugin from Never Settle. Its purpose is to effortlessly copy or migrate WordPress sites, including all database content and media files, and works for both WordPress multisite and non-multisite (including back and forth between the two). It has both a free and pro version, but unlike the other two plugins above, NS Cloner has full multisite support in the free version.

A few other features of NS Cloner include:
NS Cloner was built from the ground up specifically for multisite (not just added on), so it’s especially suited and refined as a multisite tool. It can easily copy sites/blogs within a multisite network, an important feature that you might need.
It’s a stable, established and actively developed plugin – over 6 years old.
This plugin adds a new Visual Editor widget type that allows you to insert rich text and media objects in your sidebars with no hassle. With Black Studio TinyMCE Widget you will be able to edit your widgets in a WYSIWYG manner using the native WordPress TinyMCE editor, just like you do in posts and pages. And if you are a developer you may still switch back and forth from Visual to HTML mode.
For years the default WordPress text widget has been very basic and it required HTML knowledge to add formatting and images/media to the text. This plugin was born in 2011 to overcome these limitations. After a long time, in June 2017, version 4.8 of WordPress finally introduced a new text widget that included the ability to manage text widgets with the visual editor. The new widget available in WordPress core could now be used as a basic replacement of Black Studio TinyMCE Widget, but the plugin still offers some additional features, so it remains a must-have for advanced users.
