How to Duplicate a Page or Post in WordPress

Searching for a way to duplicate a WordPress page, post, or another type of content?

Being able to easily duplicate WordPress content can be useful in all types of situations, from bulk creating similar content to updating older content to tweaking a design and more.

In many cases, though, it’s about more than just copying and pasting text between different pages. In addition to the content you’ve created, you might also want to preserve its design and the post’s settings, like its categories, tags, author, custom fields, and other metadata.

In this post, we’re going to give you a comprehensive guide for how you can completely duplicate a WordPress page, post, and more using 100% free solutions.

By the end, you’ll be able to duplicate any content on your site with the click of a button – let’s get started.

How To Duplicate a Post or Page in WordPress: Three Methods

There are three main methods that you can use to duplicate a WordPress page, post, or other custom post type:

• Plugin – the easiest way to duplicate a post or page is to use one of the many dedicated plugins (most of which are free).
• Editor – depending on how thoroughly you want to duplicate the content, you might be able to use just the editor if you only care about duplicating the content and design.
• Manual code – for the do-it-yourselfers, you can just add some custom code to your child theme’s functions.php file.

We’ll cover all three methods – let’s go through them…

How To Duplicate a WordPress Page Using a Plugin

There are a lot of plugins that make it easy to duplicate posts, pages, or other content on your site.

If you have a WooCommerce store, WooCommerce includes its own built-in feature to duplicate products – more on that below. And if you don’t, you’ll find lots of free plugins at WordPress.org, including the following:

In addition to WooCommerce, we’ll show you how it works with two of the free plugins from the list above:

• Yoast Duplicate Post because it’s very easy to use and includes a unique “Rewrite & Republish” feature that’s great for updating existing content.
• Duplicate Post because it gives you more granular control in some areas.

Both plugins are free and we also tested both to make sure that they work with both Elementor designs and content built with the native WordPress editor. We imagine that all of the other plugins from above will also work with Elementor, though we didn’t specifically test them.

Yoast Duplicate Post

First, let’s take a look at Yoast Duplicate Post. This plugin is great if you just want a quick and easy way to duplicate posts, pages, or any other custom post type.

In addition to letting you clone content, it also includes a unique Rewrite & Republish feature that helps you with updating existing content. Essentially, this feature lets you duplicate the content to make changes and then “merge” the duplicated version back into the original version when you want to make the changes live.

To get started, install and activate the free Yoast Duplicate Post plugin from WordPress.org.

Now, you have a few different ways to duplicate content.

First, you can go to the main Posts or Pages list. If you hover over an item in the list, you’ll see three options:

• Clone – duplicate the content and keep your browser tab in the posts/pages list.
• New Draft – duplicate the content and open the editor for the duplicated content so that you can start working right away.
• Rewrite and Republish – this is a useful feature for updating old content, as we discussed above. The key difference is that it will let you merge the content back into the original post once you’re finished.

The simplest approach is to just click Clone. Then, you’ll see a new draft entry for the duplicated content appear in the list. The plugin will mark it with a “Customization Draft” notice to let you know it’s the duplicate version:

Second, you can also duplicate content from inside the WordPress editor. You’ll find these options in the Status & visibility section of the Post/Page sidebar:

Finally, you can also bulk duplicate posts or pages by using the plugin’s options in the bulk actions drop-down of the Posts or Pages list:

1. Use the checkbox to select all of the posts or pages that you want to duplicate.
2. Choose the duplication method from the drop-down – Clone or Rewrite & Republish.
3. Click Apply.

If you want to customize the plugin’s behavior, you can go to Settings → Duplicate Post. This area lets you:

• Choose what content to duplicate.
• Add a custom prefix or suffix to the title of the duplicated content.
• Choose how to order duplicated content in the menu.
• Select which post types to make eligible for duplication.
• Choose which user roles have the ability to duplicate content.
• Customize where to display the duplicate post links/buttons.

Duplicate Post

Duplicate Post serves the same basic function as Yoast Duplicate Post in that it makes it easy to quickly duplicate a post or page.

A few advantages of this plugin over Yoast Duplicate Post are that it:

1. Lets you duplicate a post/page multiple times with one click. For example, you could tell it to create four duplicate copies.
2. Gives you a little more control over what content you duplicate between posts.
3. Includes a feature to scan your site for duplicate content, which is useful for quickly finding duplicates.
4. Lets you copy content between different WordPress multisite network sites, including those on a subdomain (though this feature requires the $19.98 premium plugin).
5. Gives you an option to convert posts to pages and vice versa (also requires the premium version).

If you don’t need those features, we’d recommend sticking with Yoast Duplicate Post as it’s more popular and gets the job done. But if you do want those features, this is another solid option to consider.

To begin, install and activate the free Duplicate Post plugin from WordPress.org. As soon as you activate it, it will start working.

Go to the Posts/Pages list and hover over the piece of content that you want to duplicate. You’ll see a new option to Copy. If you hover over that, you’ll expand some additional settings to choose how many duplicates to make and which settings to use (more on those in a second):

As with Yoast Duplicate Post, you can also use the checkboxes and bulk actions drop-down to bulk copy multiple posts.

To configure the plugin’s settings, you can go to the new Copy & Delete Posts tab in your WordPress dashboard. This is where you can configure all of the settings including:

• What content to duplicate.
• Who can duplicate content.
• Which custom post types to enable duplication for.
• Etc.

One nice thing is that you can create multiple settings profiles and choose which configuration to use when you duplicate content.

If you scroll to the bottom of the settings area, you can also find the feature to scan for duplicate content on your site:

Again, if you just want a simple way to duplicate content, we recommend sticking with the Yoast Duplicate Post plugin. But if any of these features caught your eye, Duplicate Post also works well.

Copy a Post or Page

This guide explains options for duplicating a page or post on your site.

Duplicate a Page or Post

Copy lets you duplicate a post or page, including the title, contents, tags, and categories, so you can start a new post or page without having to re-enter tags, categories, and formatting. To copy a post or page:

1. Click on Posts or Pages in your dashboard.
2. Click the ellipses menu (the three vertical dots) to the right of the post or page you want to copy.
3. Select Copy.
4. The WordPress Editor will open immediately, creating a new post with duplicated content.

If you have a plugin-enabled site and you do not see the Copy option, go to Jetpack → Settings → Writing and activate the “Enable the option to copy entire posts and pages, including tags and settings” option.

This feature will not be available if you are using a page builder plugin, but the plugin may provide its own option to copy pages and posts.

Copy All Content

Within the Block Editor, you can copy the entire post or page to your clipboard that you can then paste into a blank one.

• Go to My Sites → Posts/Pages.
• Select the post or page you want to copy.
• Click the ellipses menu in the top right of the editor
• Select Copy All Content
• Create a new post or page and then right-click → paste or use ctrl + v (PC) or cmd + v (Mac) to paste the content

WP Admin Options

These instructions are referring to the WP Admin interface. To view this interface, click the View tab in the upper right corner and select Classic view.

You can copy a post from within the WP Admin interface.

In the list views for posts, pages, testimonials, and portfolios, you’ll find a “Copy” option when hovering over a post item.

Clicking “Copy” will open a new edit window, with the following elements already copied over (if the original post has them):

• title
• content
• excerpt
• featured image
• categories
• tags
• comment and pingback status
• Likes and Sharing status
• custom post type terms

If the “Copy” option isn’t available, you do not have access to that particular post.
