Yoast Duplicate Post

Description

This plugin allows users to clone posts of any type, or copy them to new drafts for further editing.

How it works:

1. In ‘Edit Posts’/’Edit Pages’, you can click on ‘Clone’ link below the post/page title: this will immediately create a copy and return to the list.

2. In ‘Edit Posts’/’Edit Pages’, you can select one or more items, then choose ‘Clone’ in the ‘Bulk Actions’ dropdown to copy them all at once.

3. In ‘Edit Posts’/’Edit Pages’, you can click on ‘New Draft’ link below the post/page title.

4. On the post edit screen, you can click on ‘Copy to a new draft’ above “Cancel”/”Move too bin” or in the admin bar.

5. While viewing a post as a logged in user, you can click on ‘Copy to a new draft’ in the admin bar.

3, 4 and 5 will lead to the edit page for the new draft: change what you want, click on ‘Publish’ and you’re done.

There is also a template tag, so you can put it in your templates and clone your posts/pages from the front-end. Clicking on the link will lead you to the edit page for the new draft, just like the admin bar link.

Duplicate Post has many useful settings to customise its behavior and restrict its use to certain roles or post types. Check out the extensive documentation on yoast.com and our developer docs.
