Overview

The Wordpress plugin "Duplicate Post" is designed to streamline content management by allowing users to easily clone posts and pages or copy them to new drafts for further editing. It provides several user-friendly functionalities: users can create a copy by clicking on the 'Clone' link below the post/page title, use the 'Clone' option in the 'Bulk Actions' dropdown to duplicate multiple items at once, or click 'New Draft' for individual posts or pages. Additionally, on the post edit screen or while viewing a post as a logged-in user, clicking 'Copy to a new draft' will create and take you directly to the new draft for further modifications. The plugin also includes a template tag for frontend cloning, customizable settings to restrict its usage based on roles or post types, and comprehensive documentation available on yoast.com. Users can contribute to the plugin’s development by submitting bug reports and feature requests on GitHub, or by translating the plugin into different languages.

Easy Cloning of Posts and Pages

Click 'Clone' link below the post/page title to create a copy instantly.
Select multiple items and use 'Clone' in the 'Bulk Actions' dropdown to copy them all at once.

Quick Draft Creation

Click 'New Draft' link below the post/page title to create a new draft.
On the post edit screen, click 'Copy to a new draft' above 'Cancel'/'Move to trash' or in the admin bar.

Front-End Cloning

Use a template tag to clone posts/pages from the front-end.
Clicking the front-end link leads to the edit page for the new draft, similar to the admin bar link.

Customizable Settings

User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate the Yoast Duplicate Post plugin for its simplicity, ease of use, and functionality, especially for duplicating posts/pages and working seamlessly with major themes and plugins like Elementor. It's a great time-saver and reliable for creating template-like versions of content. However, several drawbacks are noted. Users report conflicts causing 404 errors, internal server errors, compatibility issues with custom post types and WooCommerce, and performance slowdowns. Additionally, many are frustrated with frequent and intrusive ads, notifications, and some unintended feature changes post-acquisition by Yoast, such as resetting user settings and automatic canonical URL settings. The plugin’s reliability varies, causing significant issues for some users.

So easy to use any page as template. Or use it to update pages in background before going live. Just don’t forget to update the menu links to the new page, and make the old page private.

Installed this plugin on a Friday, duplicated a post and saved it as a draft with “backup” and the date added to title, as well as the default -2 added to slug…. came back on Tuesday to re-write the original article. Turns out that for the 4 days I was away, the original article that I duplicated was producing a 404 error.I googled this issue and Yoast’s answer to another guy with this issue was to deactivate all non-yoast plugins and try a different theme. That’s wild, all this plugin should be doing is duplicating a post’s meta and presenting it as a draft to be saved or published, nothing else… and i shouldn’t have to worry about plugin conflicts. I’ll be removing it and making manual clones of posts for draft backups from now on, unless there is another plugin that actually clones posts without breaking the original. Crazy…

Esta herramienta es genial y es un básico a tener. De lo más mejor que tiene es su simplez y sencillez, además de la opción de re-escribir (es lo que hace que la elija por encima de otras) Un unico punto que le añadiría sería la opción de poder hacer más de una copia a la vez, poder seleccionar a la hora de hacer copy el número de veces que quiero que me la copie
