Start New Content From Work You Have Already Done
Copy the Information Around the Content
Make One Copy or Prepare Several Variations
The individual Duplicate action opens a count choice for one to twenty copies. This is useful when a single source provides the starting structure for several related drafts, such as a group of service pages or a set of editorial variations. Each copy remains a draft, so requesting several items does not make them publicly visible at once.
For work across several source items, the optional bulk action duplicates selected posts with a limit of fifty per run. Bulk duplication is off by default, allowing a site to keep the simpler per-item workflow until batch operations are genuinely useful. When the task is to generate many pages from spreadsheet rows and a common template, Bulk Page Creator offers a different workflow; duplication is better suited to copying existing records that you plan to edit directly.
Keep Draft Ownership and Permissions Clear
Copies are assigned to the user performing the duplication rather than retaining the original author. This gives the new draft a clear working owner without changing who authored the source. The action also requires both permission to edit the original and permission to create content of that post type, so duplicating an item is not a route around normal content-creation capabilities.
Posts and Pages are the default enabled types. Eligible custom types with a public editing interface can also be used, including structures managed through Custom Post Type Builder. The module does not duplicate the post-type registration itself. If a type needs to be created, renamed, or configured, that remains a separate content-modeling task.
Understand What a Duplicate Does Not Include
A copied page keeps its parent relationship, but that does not mean an entire page tree is cloned. Child posts are not duplicated, and neither are comments or revisions. An attachment referenced as the featured image remains the existing attachment, which avoids implying that this module creates an independent media backup for each copy.
The module also does not convert the result into another post type. Change Post Type changes an existing item's type without cloning it, while Duplicate Post Type creates another item of the source type. Keeping these actions separate makes it easier to choose the correct workflow: copy when a new editable record is needed, convert when the existing record belongs under a different supported type, and review the result before publication.
