## What it does

Adds a **"Duplicate" link** to posts, pages, products and every custom post type. The copy gets the **content, featured image, categories, tags and all custom fields**, so page-builder layouts look exactly like the original. It's saved as a *draft*, so nothing changes on your site until you publish it.

 
 
- **List link:** a "Duplicate" link under each item in the Posts, Pages and other lists. 
- **Bulk duplicate:** tick several items, choose Duplicate, *click Apply*. 
- **Admin bar:** duplicate while viewing or editing a page. 
- **Editors:** a Duplicate button in the *block editor and the classic editor*. 
- **What is copied:** content, excerpt, featured image, categories, tags, page template, parent page and *every custom field*. 
- **WPBakery:** layouts look identical: Design Options, custom CSS, templates, grid items and *theme global sections*. 
- **WooCommerce:** products are copied with WooCommerce's own duplicator, so *variations, SKUs and stock* are handled correctly. 
- **Status:** the copy is a *draft by default*, or pending review, private, or the same status as the original. 
- **Title and owner:** choose the title ending (*" (Copy)"* by default) and whether you or the original author owns the copy. 
- **After copying:** open the copy in the editor straight away, or stay on the list. 
- **Where it shows:** pick which content types get the link and *where it appears*. 
- **User roles:** only people who can edit and create that content can copy it.

## Setup

1. **Install & Activate it.** In WordPress go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, choose the .zip and click Install Now, then Activate. The Duplicate link works right away.
2. **Choose the content types.** Go to Settings › Duplicate Posts and tick where the link should appear (all types are on by default).
3. **Set up the copy.** Choose its status, title ending, author and what happens after duplicating. 4. **Save.** Click Save Changes. That's it.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is the copy published right away?

No. By default it's a draft, so visitors don't see it until you publish it. You can change this in the settings.

### Does it work with WPBakery and other page builders?

Yes. Layouts, Design Options and custom CSS live in hidden custom fields, and every custom field is copied, so the copy looks exactly like the original.

### Can I duplicate WooCommerce products?

Yes. Products go through WooCommerce's own duplicator, so variations, SKUs and stock copy correctly, and your title, status and author settings still apply.

### Does it work with page caching?

Yes. Copies start as drafts, so nothing changes on your live pages until you publish one.

### Is it really free?

Yes. Free forever, no sign-up, no ads, and it doesn't track you.

### What happens to my data when I delete the plugin?

Your copies are normal posts and pages, so they stay. The settings are kept too, because Arock Toolkit and other versions of this plugin share them.
