Comment on Stallion Responsive SEO Theme Layout Options by SEO Dave.
I’ve not used WordPress clone plugins, but understand it’s possible to clone an entire WordPress setup and use it for generating more sites. There’s no domain specific activation with Stallion, so there shouldn’t be issues with cloning a WordPress setup including Stallion.
Stallion 6.2+ also includes default settings files you can edit, they are under
/stallion-seo-theme/mydefaults/
the files
stallion_defaults.php – The Stallion defaults you see with a new setup
stallion_defaults_seo.php – The SEO defaults I tend to use
Can be edited in a text editor (mainly changing 1’s and 0’s, instructions within the files) and used so you don’t have to manually add your AdSense ID, which layout you use etc… on the main Stallion options page after activation you select which of the two files you want to use for a site and all settings are setup as added to the file.
This doesn’t impact widgets or other WordPress settings, that would require a WordPress clone plugin.
