<p>Post Cloner will create a quick to access action button on the post/page edit screen alongside ‘Edit’, ‘Quick Edit’, ‘Trash’ and ‘View’.</p>
<p>All cloned posts, pages and custom post types will have ‘- Clone’ appended to the end of their title. All cloned posts, pages and custom post types will also be set to draft so they don’t appear anywhere on your site until you decide to publish them.</p>

Post Cloner

Too simple, Too good. Post and Pages ready in a few seconds.



Simple and Fast

The one issue I have found is that when creating custom post types with PODS, that when a custom field such as "Relationship [type: pick]" where the value is another post type, the selected values are not copied over.



Does 99.9 % of the job

Works perfectly!

Post cloner allows you to easily make complete duplicates of any post on your site. That includes posts, pages and custom post types.

<p>In a nutshell: Finally be able to duplicate and edit live posts without messing up the live version of the post.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>This plugin gives users the ability to clone, edit, and then merge back the updated copy back into the original post.</p>
<p>You control who has access to duplicate, you also control who has the permissions to merge the newly cloned edited post back into the original.</p>
<h4>Here’s the flow:</h4>
<p>Original Post -> Clone -> Edit -> Merge back to Original Post</p>

Duplicate and Merge Posts

I use this plugin across several sites and it's a great addition -- wish it was part of WordPress core it's that useful for modifying already published posts/pages.



Excellent

Duplicate existing pages on your site, edit them, and merge them back over the original.…
