R2K Terms Copier

R2K Terms Copier is a simple and powerful WordPress plugin that allows you to duplicate any taxonomy term (categories, tags, or custom taxonomies) along with all associated meta data without relationships.

Key Features

• One-Click Duplication: Simply hover over any term in the taxonomy list and click “Duplicate”
• Complete Meta Data Copy: All term meta data is automatically copied to the duplicate
• Preserves Relationships: Parent-child term relationships are maintained
• Smart Naming: Automatically appends “(Copy)” to duplicated terms, with automatic numbering if duplicates exist
• Works with All Taxonomies: Compatible with categories, tags, and any custom taxonomies
• Security First: Includes nonce verification and capability checks
• User-Friendly: Clear success and error messages

How It Works

1. Navigate to any taxonomy term list (e.g., Posts → Categories)
2. Hover over the term you want to duplicate
3. Click the “Duplicate” link that appears in the row actions
4. The term is instantly duplicated with all its meta data
