## 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](https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/duplicate-post/)
and our [developer docs](https://developer.yoast.com/duplicate-post/overview/).

    you can use the [translation project](https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/duplicate-post);

## Installation

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
 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](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/duplicate-post)
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](https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/duplicate-post):
you only need a WordPress.org account.

Yoast Duplicate Post is really useful when I need to copy posts fast. It keeps the
work simple and saves time. Would love a few more custom options, but overall it
works very well.

Yoast Duplicate Post does the job of duplicating posts, but I’ve faced some issues
with it not copying all settings properly. It’s useful, but it could use some tweaks
for smoother performance.
