Description

Meta Duplicate Post is a powerful, flexible WordPress plugin that lets you duplicate posts, pages, and custom post types with a single click. It features an intuitive settings interface that lets you control which user roles can duplicate content and which post types are allowed. All meta data is duplicated along with the content, ensuring that your copies are complete and ready for editing.

Key features include:
One-Click Duplication: Easily duplicate any post, page, or custom post type.
Role-Based Permissions: Only authorized users (as set in the Permissions settings) can duplicate content.
Advanced Settings: Configure default post status, author, and date for duplicated posts.
Custom Post Type Support: Duplicate any post type that has a UI – including popular custom post types like Contact Form 7.
Meta Data Duplication: All associated meta fields are copied along with the post content.
Secure and Optimized: Built using the singleton pattern with robust input sanitization, escaping, and nonce verification.
Localization Ready: Fully translatable to meet international needs.
