Bundling a Theme with Plugins...

    Hi!

    I'm getting close to finishing up my first Wordpress theme for personal use and was wondering: what's the best way to create a bundle which includes the plugins currently in use?? I have a few small plugins for a contact form, social networking icons, and some SEO stuff which are styled according to the theme. I'd love to maintain all those settings if installing this theme in a new Wordpress installation for another site. Any help would be really appreciated!!

    Cheers!

    I use WPTwin for this (There is a link in my signature for cloning WP). This is the best software I have found.
    It keeps your plugins (and settings), widgets, etc in tact. Of course you can install on a new domain and all links and paths update properly.
    I give this product 5 stars and it has saved me tons of time. Hope it can help you too.

    //it is a premium product, but worth every penny if your time is valuable
