Description

Duplicate Post RB is a powerful yet lightweight plugin that allows you to duplicate posts, duplicate pages, and clone custom post types in WordPress.
Whether you want to copy posts, clone pages, or generate multiple content variations, this plugin provides flexible and professional tools for content duplication.

Unlike basic duplicate post tools, Duplicate Post RB gives you full control over what exactly gets copied, including content, title, slug, featured image, taxonomies, templates, metadata, and more. This makes it ideal for websites with structured content, landing pages, learning systems, and large editorial workflows.

⭐ What’s New?

The new version introduces advanced duplication logic with configuration profiles and WP-CLI support – making Duplicate Post RB suitable for editors, agencies, and developers who need full control over how content is copied.

🔥 Key Features

  • Duplicate any post, page, or custom post type
  • Clone items instantly or create a new draft
  • Profiles for fully customizable duplication settings
  • Choose which elements to copy (title, content, featured image, templates, taxonomies, etc.)
  • Smart naming rules with placeholders:
    • [Counter]
    • [CurrentDate]
    • [CurrentTime]
  • Quick Copy Popup with options:
    • number of copies
    • profile selection
    • site selection (multisite support coming soon)
  • WP-CLI support for automation and bulk duplication
  • Clean UI, lightweight code, compatible with Classic and Gutenberg editors

Duplicate Post RB includes full WP-CLI support, making it perfect for automation, bulk duplication, and integration with scripts or CI/CD pipelines.

Profiles let you save different duplication behaviors – for example:

  • SEO-friendly copy with prefix
  • Exact clone with all meta fields
  • Minimal copy with custom taxonomies only

You can create unlimited profiles and switch between them during duplication.

🚀 Optimized for Performance

Duplicate Post RB is built with performance and reliability in mind. The plugin works smoothly on large websites, supports Gutenberg and Classic Editor, and remains lightweight even under heavy use.
