<p>The go-to tool for cloning posts and pages, including the powerful Rewrite & Republish feature.</p>
<p>== Description ==</p>
<p>This plugin allows users to clone posts of any type, or copy them to new drafts for further editing.</p>
<p>How it works:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>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.</p></li>
<li><p>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.</p></li>
<li><p>In 'Edit Posts'/'Edit Pages', you can click on 'New Draft' link below the post/page title.</p></li>
<li><p>On the post edit screen, you can click on 'Copy to a new draft' above "Cancel"/"Move to trash" or in the admin bar.</p></li>
<li><p>While viewing a post as a logged in user, you can click on 'Copy to a new draft' in the admin bar.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>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.</p>
<p>There is also a <strong>template tag</strong>, 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.</p>
<p>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 <a href="https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/duplicate-post/" rel="nofollow">on yoast.com</a> and our <a href="https://developer.yoast.com/duplicate-post/" rel="nofollow">developer docs</a>.</p>
<p>== Installation ==</p>
<p>Use WordPress' Add New Plugin feature, searching "Duplicate Post", or download the archive and:</p>
<ol>
<li>Unzip the archive on your computer</li>
<li>Upload <code>duplicate-post</code> directory to the <code>/wp-content/plugins/</code> directory</li>
<li>Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress</li>
<li>Go to Settings -> Duplicate Post and customize behaviour as needed</li>
</ol>
<p>== Frequently Asked Questions ==</p>
<p>= The plugin doesn't work, why? =</p>
<p>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!</p>
<p>Then try to deactivate and re-activate it, some user have reported that this fixes some problems.</p>
<p>Pay also attention to the "Permissions" tab in the Settings: make sure the plugin is enabled for the desired roles and post types.</p>
<p>If it still doesn't work, maybe there is some kind of conflict with other plugins: feel free <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/duplicate-post" rel="nofollow">to write in the forum</a> and we'll try to discover a solution (it will be <em>really</em> 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).</p>
<p>= The plugin is not translated in my language! =</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>If Duplicate Post is still in English, or if there are some untranslated strings, you can <a href="https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/duplicate-post" rel="nofollow">help translating to your language</a>: you only need a WordPress.org account.</p>
