<li><strong>Smart Naming</strong>: Automatically appends “(Copy)” to duplicated terms, with automatic numbering if duplicates exist</li>
<li><strong>Works with All Taxonomies</strong>: Compatible with categories, tags, and any custom taxonomies</li>
<li><strong>Security First</strong>: Includes nonce verification and capability checks</li>
<li><strong>User-Friendly</strong>: Clear success and error messages</li>
</ul>
<h4>How It Works</h4>

<li>Navigate to any taxonomy term list (e.g., Posts <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Categories)</li>
<li>Hover over the term you want to duplicate</li>
<li>Click the “Duplicate” link that appears in the row actions</li>
<li>The term is instantly duplicated with all its meta data</li>

<h4>Developer Hooks</h4>

R2K Terms Copier


I have the Yoast Duplicate Posts plugin installed on almost every site that I've built, but today realised that it is missing that same duplication feature for taxonomy terms! Really grateful that this plugin exists because it cut my interruption short and quickly let me get back on with the site development. Works pretty much perfectly; it cloned the term, with the JetEngine meta terms added on to it. The only thing I noticed was that the Yoast SEO plugin lost its setting to "do not allow index" during the copy, although this might be a feature of the Yoast plugin perhaps and not an incompatibility?

Taxonomy Switcher

Not sure the forum policy on swearing on here, but this plugin is chuffing amazing, saved my bottom recently as I imported ~7000 term into the wrong taxonomy, and it transferred it over no fuss.

This saved my bottom!

Don't let the small number of active installs fool you: This tool does what it says and does it well. Once the data is modified, most people (like myself) probably uninstall it.

Kudos to the Authors!

Awesome Tool!

Does exactly what it claims to do and works flawlessly. Thanks!!

Awesome!


I started using this plugin recentlyThanks for the CLI support



Works as expected


Kudos to CLI support

Switch the taxonomy for all terms or only child terms of a specified parent term.
