Copy Post removes the tedium of having to copy content, comments, and tags manually from one instance to another. It also preserves the original post author and date.
Copy Post was originally written when we were preparing to launch a public blog and wanted to pre-populate it with content from our in-office blog that we had been using for the past two years. If our marketing team thinks that something originally posted to our in-office blog would be helpful or meaningful to others outside of our company, they can easily copy it to the public blog. 
Copy Post could also be used in a situation where multiple WordPress instances are used in a development/staging/production setup.
First, a few assumptions and caveats.
<ul>
<li>You must have access to the MySQL database of the destination blog.</li>
<li>The author of the post you are copying must have an account on the destination blog with the same login name, though the IDs don’t have to be the same.</li>
<li>Categories assignments are not copied over, mainly because in our case the categories on the two blogs are different and were going to be edited anyway.</li>
<li>Comments attributed to registered users retain this attribution only if the commenter has an account on the destination blog (just like the author). If the commenter doesn’t have an account, the comment is still copied, but it’s treated as if it were made by an unregistered visitor.</li>
</ul>
Use the copy post feature to send a post to a destination blog. You’ll need the post ID, which is available by looking at the edit link for the post. The plugin will copy the post content, tags, and comments. The original author and post date will be retained. All category information will not be copied over. The resulting post will be set as a “private” post to allow you to set the categories and make edits before it goes live. Also, you’ll need to be an admin on the source blog to use the plugin.
The settings for the destination blog are configured directly in the WordPress Admin interface, making it possible for us to distribute the plugin to anyone who would need it.

<h4>About</h4>
The WordPress ecosystem has never offered a simple solution for managing content between environments. Since its inception, one problem persists: granular deployment of content and configurations.
You develop on a test site and want to send only certain content to your production site. With existing tools, two scenarios often occur: creating duplicates… or having to overwrite the entire database. The constraints imposed by the diversity of plugin ecosystem operations have already caused several attempts to fail.
We are convinced that a solution is possible.
That’s why we designed Deploy & Sync Content: a new approach, designed to finally offer selective synchronization between your environments.
<h4>Main Features</h4>
The free version offers unidirectional synchronization (Production → Staging/Local), ideal for simply transferring your content and media between your sites.
For bidirectional synchronization and advanced features, check out the Pro version(https://wp-deployer.io/en/features).
Intelligent database merging: The plugin detects existing content to update or create it as needed. You thus maintain the consistency of your environments and avoid any loss of information.
Unidirectional synchronization (free version): Production → Staging/Local: quickly transfer your content and media between your sites.
Data conflict management: The tool identifies and allows you to resolve differences before import, ensuring updates without loss.
Automatic ID mapping: Avoid duplicates and inconsistencies related to page builders and ID references.
Preservation of content relationships: Posts, taxonomies, media and metadata remain correctly linked after each synchronization.
