How do I duplicate a page or post?

After activating the plugin, go to the Pages or Posts list. Use the Duplicate action for the content you want to copy. The duplicated content will be created using the status and redirect options selected in the plugin settings.

Can I customize the title of duplicated content?

Yes. You can use Duplicate Post Prefix and Duplicate Post Suffix to customize the title of duplicated content.

For example:

  • Prefix: Copy of Copy of About Us
  • Suffix: Copy About Us -- Copy

You can also customize the text displayed for the Duplicate action.

Can I duplicate custom post types?

Yes. Duplicate Page and Post supports duplicating posts, pages, and supported custom post types. The available content types depend on the post types registered by your WordPress site and the plugin configuration.

Why don’t I see the Duplicate button in the Gutenberg editor?

If you are using the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg), go to Settings Duplicate Page and Post and select Gutenberg Editor under Select Editor. This allows the Duplicate action to appear correctly on the edit screen.

Easy and efficient tool

Thank you for this plugin. I ultimately need this feature, and have used several similar plugins before, even paid. This plugin might be the last I will probably use forever, as it is simple and does not distort the content.

Excellent.
