Yoast Duplicate Post

Yoast Duplicate Post

Download

Description

This plugin allows users to clone posts of any type, or copy them to new drafts for further editing.

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 yoast.com and our developer docs.

Installation

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

  1. Unzip the archive on your computer

  3. WordPress ‘Qoşmalar’ menyusundan qoşmanı aktivləşdir
  4. Go to Settings -> Duplicate Post and customize behaviour as needed

FAQ

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 untranslated strings, you can help translating to your language: you only need a WordPress.org account.

Using Yoast Duplicate Post for some time now. It makes cloning pages super easy and saves a lot of time. Works well most of the time, just had small tweaks needed. Overall, happy with it. Tnkz devs

Yoast rhymes with Toast

Honestly, I don’t know if that’s true – but what I do know is true is that when our SEO Content team or a client needs to duplicate a post then I always add this plugin. It always bothered me that WordPress doesn’t have this feature natively to copy posts. Another plugin we have used is [Duplicate Post] but I’ve always prefered this one for the brand association with this one. We moved from the actual Yoast SEO plugin years ago, but the Yoast brand still remains iconic and the more I’ve read of their articles and posts the more respect I have for them as a company. So thank you Yoast and thank you Enrico Battocchi.

Perfectly simple solution

Most other Event-Plug-ins are too heavy for my taste, but this one is quite flexible and has all the important elements. Easy to use, fitting into the theme and event lists can be displayed in multiple ways, if you know what to add to the shortcode. Highly recommended. The only thing I’m missing is recurring events.

Adds bloating undismissable notices

11 Sentyabr 2025
Adds a huge and extremely annoying notification at the top of plugin page that forces you to subscribe to their newsletter (which I do not need). Until you submit your email and confirm it, it doesn’t disappear. Wordpress should start BANNING plugins that bloat your admin pages with undismissable notices.

Great Elementor Page and Template Duplication

14 Aprel 2025
We like this plugin for duplicating pages created in a page or site builder, like Elementor.Fast and easy to use for most clients, we only wish the ‘Republish’ functionality was better explained in the dashboard.
