The go-to tool for cloning posts and pages, including the powerful Rewrite & Republish feature.
|
|
|
|
== 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 to trash" 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 customize its behavior and restrict its use to certain roles or post types. Check out the extensive documentation on [yoast.com](https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/duplicate-post/) and our [developer docs](https://developer.yoast.com/duplicate-post/overview/).
|
|
|
|
== Installation ==
|

|

1. Unzip the archive on your computer
|
|
2. Upload `duplicate-post` directory to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
|
|
3. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
|
|

== Frequently Asked Questions ==
|
|
|
|
= The plugin doesn't work, why? =
|
|
|
|
First, check your version of WordPress: the plugin is not supposed to work on old versions anymore. Make sure also to upgrade to the last version of the plugin!
|
|
|
|
Then try to deactivate and re-activate it, some user have reported that this fixes some problems.
|
|
|
|
Pay also attention to the "Permissions" tab in the Settings: make sure the plugin is enabled for the desired roles and post types.
|
|
|
|
If it still doesn't work, maybe there is some kind of conflict with other plugins: feel free [to write in the forum](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/duplicate-post) and we'll try to discover a solution (it will be *really* helpful if you try to deactivate all your other plugins one by one to see which one conflicts with mine... But do it only if you know what you're doing, I will not be responsible of any problem you may experience).
|
|
|
|
= The plugin is not translated in my language! =
|
|
|
|
From version 3.0 the plugin's translations are managed by the WordPress.org platform and the plugin is shipped without language files, so first of all update translations under Dashboard->Updates.
|
|
|
|
If Duplicate Post is still in English, or if there are some untranslated strings, you can [help translating to your language](https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/duplicate-post): you only need a WordPress.org account.
