Overview

Post Cloner is a WordPress plugin designed to simplify the process of duplicating existing posts, pages, and custom post types. It adds a quick-access 'Clone' action button to the post/page edit screen, making it as easy as clicking 'Edit' or 'View'. When a post or page is cloned, it is appended with '- Clone' in its title and set to draft status, preventing it from appearing live on your site until you are ready. This plugin offers extensive customization, allowing users to control what content types are cloneable and ensuring that all elements, including taxonomies, meta data, featured images, categories, and tags, are perfectly duplicated. Compatible with Easy Digital Downloads, this lightweight and secure solution adheres to WordPress Coding Standards and plans to include additional settings for more tailored clone creation in future updates.

User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate the WordPress plugin for its simplicity, clean and logical UI, and effectiveness in cloning posts, including all post meta information. They find it incredibly time-saving, working seamlessly with custom post types and themes, without any ads or complicated freemium models. Installation is easy, and compatibility with the latest WordPress versions and various page builders is a significant plus. However, a notable drawback is the plugin’s inability to copy custom fields from PODS, specifically those related to post type relationships. Despite this minor issue, users highly recommend the plugin, finding it a reliable and straightforward solution.

Cloning all post meta too!

I just really doN’t understand the low download number – I’ve been using this plugin for about 5-6 years (if not more), never had any issues with it, it does its job perfectly and wonderfully, no ads in the admin, no freemium model, no tons of unnecessary options, a simple, logically structured, clean UI, and I’m 100% sure I could add a few other items to the “Why am I using this specific plugin” list. Post cloner is a perfect product, and a perfect example of how plugin development for an open-source, free software should work in a better world. Oh, not to mention, it has one of the loveliest plugin profle picture in the whole repo!! 🐑✨❤️

Massive time saver! I use this with EDD they offer a payed for version of duplicate… Kind of feel ripped off knowing that this should be a built in function. I can not thank you enough 🙂

Really nice plugin It also works on custom post types.

The one issue I have found is that when creating custom post types with PODS, that when a custom field such as “Relationship [type: pick]” where the value is another post type, the selected values are not copied over.
