WP Widget Importer and Exporter

Ooo – this looks handy – https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-importer-exporter/

I haven’t tested it but what it claims to do could save a lot of time by creating a backup of your widget area.

I’d imagine cloning software is the better way to go, but this looks good and easy.

I have something I could test this on as well. Ill post back my results later in the week.
