Duplicate Posts/Pages
Creating similar content shouldn’t mean starting from scratch. This module adds a “Duplicate” action to posts and pages, letting you clone content with one click — complete with all metadata, taxonomies, and custom fields.
Use Cases
- Create product pages from a template, changing only specific details
- Duplicate last week’s newsletter to reuse the format
- Clone landing pages for A/B testing variations
- Replicate complex page layouts quickly
How It Works
- Hover over any post in the list view
- Click Duplicate in the row actions
- A new draft is created with all content copied
- Edit the duplicate and publish when ready
