Duplicate Post

Af Enrico Battocchi

Beskrivelse

This plugin allows users to clone posts of any type, or copy them to new drafts for further editing.
If you find this useful, please consider donating whatever sum you choose, even just 10 cents. Just a few cents from every user would help me develop the plugin and improve support.

How it works:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. In ‘Edit Posts’/’Edit Pages’, you can click on ‘New Draft’ link below the post/page title.

  4. On the post edit screen, you can click on ‘Copy to a new draft’ above “Cancel”/”Move to trash” or in the admin bar.

  5. While viewing a post as a logged in user, you can click on ‘Copy to a new draft’ in the admin bar.

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.

There is also a template tag, 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.

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 on the plugin’s site.

If you’re a plugin developer, I suggest you to read the Developer’s Guide to ensure compatibility between your plugin(s) and mine. Feel free to contact me so we can keep in touch and collaborate.

Duplicate Post does not collect any information outside your WordPress installation, therefore it’s 100% GDPR compliant.

Thanks for all the suggestions, bug reports, translations and donations, they’re frankly too many to be listed here!

Contribute

If you find this useful and if you want to contribute, there are three ways:

  1. You can write me and submit your bug reports, suggestions and requests for features;
  2. If you want to translate it to your language (there are just a few lines of text), you can use the translation project;
  3. Using the plugin is free, but if you want you can support my efforts by donating with PayPal here

Installation Instructions

Use WordPress’ Add New Plugin feature, searching “Duplicate Post”, or download the archive and:

  1. Unzip the archive on your computer
  2. Upload duplicate-post directory to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

The plugin doesn’t work, why?

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!

Then try to deactivate and re-activate it, some user have reported that this fixes some problems.

Pay also attention to the “Permissions” tab in the Settings: make sure the plugin is enabled for the desired roles and post types.

If it still doesn’t work, maybe there is some kind of conflict with other plugins: feel free to write in the forum and we’ll try to discover a solution (it will be really 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).

The plugin is not translated in my language!

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.

If Duplicate Post is still in English, or if there are some untraslated strings, you can help traslating to your language here: you only need a WordPress.org account.
Contact me if you wish to become an editor for your language.

One small fix

Hello
I really like your plugin, it’s great.
Just one small fix please, because it fills my debug.log:
File: wp-content\plugins\duplicate-post\duplicate-post-common.php
Lines: 149 and 123
There is condition
if( duplicate_post_is_current_user_allowed_to_copy()...
that need to be changed to
if( is_object( $post ) && duplicate_post_is_current_user_allowed_to_copy()
so just add
is_object( $post ) &&
after if( on both lines 🙂
it’s because your condition continues with some other check with variable $post->post_type but on many pages in WP admin there is $post not defined, eg. Contact Form 7 listing etc..

Superior to others

This plugin is superior to others because it allows you to copy as a draft, it redirects instantly to the copy, and it has action buttons in many places, like in admin bar. You can configure everything, like what kind of post types it will work with, and the action buttons/links you want to have. Great! Thanks!

Simple yet Super-Useful

This plugin may been like it performs a menial task. But it saves me so much time when editing and adding posts. I can keep the exact format of the other posts throughout my website, using the templates.
