Duplicate Post – duplicate pages, copy content, clone posts

📄 Details | 🚀 Get PRO Version | 📖 Documentation

Duplicate Post RB is a powerful yet lightweight plugin that allows you to duplicate posts, duplicate pages, and clone custom post types in WordPress. Whether you want to copy posts, clone pages, or generate multiple content variations, this plugin provides flexible and professional tools for content duplication.

Unlike basic duplicate post tools, Duplicate Post RB gives you full control over what exactly gets copied, including content, title, slug, featured image, taxonomies, templates, metadata, and more. This makes it ideal for websites with structured content, landing pages, learning systems, and large editorial workflows.

The new version introduces advanced duplication logic with configuration profiles and WP-CLI support – making Duplicate Post RB suitable for editors, agencies, and developers who need full control over how content is copied.

Duplicate Post RB now offers both profile-based duplication logic and global plugin settings, making it suitable for editors, administrators, agencies, and developers working with complex WordPress setups.

⭐ What’s New?

• New global option: All Post Meta You can now copy all post meta fields at once using a single global switch. This significantly simplifies duplication when working with complex posts, custom fields, and third-party plugins.

• Improved Custom Post Types support Enhanced support for duplicating custom post types, including those registered by themes and plugins, with more consistent behavior across different setups.

• Full Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) integration Added full support for ACF, including custom fields, field groups, post types, and taxonomies, ensuring complete and accurate duplication of structured data.

• Import and Export for duplication profiles You can now export and import duplication profiles, making it easier to reuse configurations across multiple projects and environments.

• Custom profile buttons in post/page list Added the ability to create profile-based custom buttons, allowing one-click duplication with predefined settings directly from the posts and pages list.

• Improved integrations support Better handling of third-party plugins and extended compatibility with complex WordPress setups.

• Fixed and improved Custom Taxonomies support Custom taxonomies are now copied more reliably and consistently across different post types and duplication scenarios.

• Stability fixes for duplication options Improved handling of Featured Image, Attachments, Categories, Taxonomies, and related options to ensure predictable results when duplicating posts and pages.

• New Copy button in the Gutenberg editor Duplicate posts directly from the block editor with a dedicated Copy button, no need to leave the editor or switch views.

• New duplication history widget in editors A new History widget is now available inside both the Gutenberg editor and the Classic Editor, showing:

  • source post/page
  • duplication date and time
  • used duplication profile

These improvements make post duplication faster, clearer, and more transparent, especially when working with advanced setups and multiple profiles.

• Exact clone with all meta fields
• Minimal copy with custom taxonomies only

You can create unlimited profiles and switch between them during duplication.

🚀 Optimized for Performance

Duplicate Post RB is built with performance and reliability in mind. The plugin works smoothly on large websites, supports Gutenberg and Classic Editor, and remains lightweight even under heavy use.

Whether you’re running a blog, a landing-page builder, an online store, a multisite network, or a content-heavy website Duplicate Post RB helps you duplicate posts and pages faster, easier, and with full control over the result.

🏷️ Naming Rules

Duplicate Post RB includes flexible Naming Rules that let you define how copied posts, pages, and custom post types will be named. This is useful when you create multiple copies of the same content and want each new item to follow a clear and predictable naming pattern.

For each duplication profile, you can define a prefix and suffix for generated copies. The original post title stays in the middle, so you can build naming structures that match your editorial workflow. The plugin also supports dynamic placeholders such as [Counter], [CurrentDate], and [CurrentTime]. These values can be added to the prefix or suffix to automatically generate unique names for duplicated items.

A live preview helps you see the final naming format before duplication. You can also define the counter start value and configure custom date and time formats to match your preferred naming style.

This makes Naming Rules useful for content teams, landing page variations, product drafts, template-based workflows, and any project where duplicated content needs to stay organized.

🎨 Profile Custom Button

Duplicate Post RB allows you to create custom duplication buttons for each profile and display them directly in the posts and pages list. You can enable a custom button per profile and assign it a specific duplication configuration. This makes it possible to trigger different duplication behaviors with a single click, without opening additional dialogs or switching settings.

Each button can be customized with its own label, color, and display type. You can choose between label, icon, or a combination of both, depending on how you want the action to appear in the interface. Custom buttons are displayed alongside standard WordPress actions in the post and page listing, allowing quick access to duplication workflows directly from the admin list view.

In addition, an optional “copy without confirmation” mode allows you to skip confirmation dialogs and perform instant duplication. This feature is especially useful for teams working with predefined duplication scenarios, templates, or structured content workflows where speed and consistency are important.

🔗 Integrations

Duplicate Post RB supports duplication of standard WordPress content types such as posts and pages, as well as custom post types created by themes or plugins. You can enable duplication for all registered custom post types or selectively exclude specific ones based on your workflow. This provides flexibility when working with complex site structures.

The plugin also includes support for duplicating data created by third-party plugins. Integration with Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) allows you to duplicate custom field data along with the post content, preserving structured data and layouts. Additional integrations with popular plugins such as Yoast SEO, Rank Math, WooCommerce, Elementor, WPBakery, and others are planned to extend duplication capabilities across the WordPress ecosystem.

This ensures that duplicated content remains complete and consistent, even when using advanced plugins and custom-built solutions.

🧩 Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) Integration

Duplicate Post RB provides full integration with Advanced Custom Fields (ACF), allowing you to duplicate not only content, but the entire ACF data structure associated with a post.

The plugin supports duplication of:

• ACF custom fields and their values • Field Groups assigned to posts and post types • ACF-based custom post types • Custom taxonomies created via ACF

All ACF data is copied accurately, preserving relationships, field configurations, and structured content without data loss. This ensures that duplicated posts remain fully functional and consistent, even in complex setups where ACF is used to build dynamic layouts, custom data models, or advanced content structures. The integration works seamlessly in the background and does not require additional configuration.

⚙️ Global Settings

The new Global Settings section allows you to control how duplication features behave across your WordPress installation. From a single settings screen, you can define which user roles are allowed to duplicate content, including Super Admins, Administrators, Editors, Authors, and Contributors. This makes it easy to align duplication permissions with your team structure and editorial responsibilities.

In addition, you can choose where the Copy / Duplicate actions are displayed within the WordPress admin interface. The plugin allows you to enable duplication buttons on posts and pages lists, individual edit screens, the admin bar, inside the Gutenberg editor, and within the bulk actions menu. These options give you full flexibility to integrate duplication tools exactly where your workflow requires them.

Overall, the Global Settings section helps tailor Duplicate Post RB to different editorial processes, team sizes, and usage scenarios without adding unnecessary complexity.

Duplicate Post RB now includes an option to move the plugin menu to the Tools section.

This is useful if you want to: keep the WordPress admin menu cleaner, reduce visual clutter, or hide the plugin from the primary navigation while keeping it accessible.
