How to clone a WordPress instance with configured themes and plugins in Plesk?

Log in to Plesk.
Go to the domain where WordPress that needs to be cloned is installed: Domains > example.com > WordPress tab > Open WP Toolkit.
Click Clone.
Use "Create subdomain" or "Use existing domain or subdomain" options for target domain.

Warning: Make sure that the domain or the subdomain selected as a target is not being used by an existing website. During cloning, website data that exists on the destination may be overwritten and irrevocably lost.
Once all the settings are selected, finish the cloning by clicking OK.
