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?
