I don't see the option to "use as template" in the three-dot drop-down menu. has the UI been changed? I used to easily be able to create a new site using an existing site as a template. but now I don't see that option anywhere. 

Hi @Shane90 If you click the three dots to the right of the site name(from the main dashboard) you should see an option to "duplicate". Is this the setting you are looking for? 

@Bernadette No, I am looking to use an existing site as a template to build a new one. When I duplicate a sight none of the changes I make take effect when I preview or close the editor.  In the past, I was able to build a new site using an existing site as a starting point, but I no longer see that option. 

I think our WWD team recently changed it so you can't use an existing site as a template, and need to build a new site specifically as a template. 

okay thank you for the clarification 

Not a problem!

So there is no more ability to duplicate an existing site? In order to create a second site that looks exactly the same as a site I already have (as in, same layout, font, etc., just different content), I would have to build from scratch? 

If yes, what if the original theme I used is no longer an option? How would I get my websites to look the same?

This would be a deal-breaker for me. I need consistent branding across all sites within a parent company. Considering the new editor is already awful enough (the old editor was amazing...it was the whole reason I picked Weebly over competitors to begin with), I guess it may be time to move.

Hi @WaHooWa2010 Do you have multiple accounts? The account you are currently logged into is not a WWD account so the instructions Adam provided would not be relevant. 

All of the sites in your account appear to be using the older editor. Is there a site in this account that has the new editor? 

I was asked to demo the product and give feedback a few months ago. Also, I started a site about a month ago and just could not get used to the new interface, so I deleted it and started it elsewhere. But I also cannot duplicate a site in the old editor either. I was told it was a bug (through direct email support), but it seemed from Adam like there was the possibility that this functionality was going away.

The threads can be a little confusing because we have so many different types of accounts and multiple editors. Adam is specifically referring to Weebly for Web Designers (WWD) and is different than the account you are currently logged into. It also sounds like the other account you created was using our newer editor (also different than WWD). I did confirm with support yesterday that there is a bug specific to your account that is preventing you from making copies of the sites. They asked me to tag a ticket for the bug so that you could be updated once the engineers have found a resolution. 

Has this been updated yet?

I don't have the option to copy my site.

There have been no changes to that option for the designer platform so far, @Chococoa. Hopefully this is an option we can add, though!

I'm back. Something has changed. I tried to duplicate a site that I had previously published but then unpublished. All of the pages are not duplicating, only some of them.  I'm not talking about blog pages. I'm talking about the Home Page?!?  Weirdness. 

I found out that I did not wait long enough. I guess I needed to let Weebly build the copy.

Glad to hear it is working for you now!
