How to Duplicate WordPress Page or Post

Creating a duplicate of your existing WordPress posts or pages can be useful in many situations. You can use the copy as a template for future posts, or a reference when you redesign your website.

Take a look at our selection of the best WordPress plugins to duplicate your posts and pages as well as how to use them:

1. Duplicate Post Plugin

Duplicate Post plugin is one of the go-to options for this purpose. Aside from copying the content, you can also duplicate the comments, slug, menu order, and much more!

In addition, the plugin allows you to add title prefix or a suffix, so you’ll know which one is the original and which one is the copy.

Let’s say you set “Copy of” as the title prefix. If you duplicate a post titled “What is WordPress,” the duplicate will be named “Copy of What is WordPress.”

To clone your WordPress posts or pages using Duplicate Post, follow these simple steps:

1. Install and activate the plugin.

3. Hover over the page or post you want to clone, and you will see two new options there — Clone and New Draft.
   
4. Click Clone to duplicate the selected post, or choose New Draft to create a cloned version of the chosen post and open it in the post editor.
